A special night. An emotional night. A winning night. The Oklahoma City Thunder absolutely crushed the Houston Rockets in Russell Westbrook’s return.
Erik Horne (The Athletic) writes that, even with Westbrook on the other bench, the Thunder were ultimately fueled by Russell. “In the 113-92 win, the Thunder channeled all of the energy bouncing between Westbrook and those fortunate enough to be in the building and used it to thrash the Rockets in one of their most comprehensive wins of the season.”
The Thunder welcomed Westbrook with a really impressive tribute video, followed by a stirring ovation by the Oklahoma City crowd.
