Different team, different year but the same hustle that OKC Thunder fans miss.
Oklahoma’s favorite son, Russell Westbrook, returned to the arena he built and filled with adoring fans for 11 years.
He brought the same tenacity and firepower he brought every single night in a Thunder uniform to lead his Washington Wizards to a 20 point victory over OKC, making It their seventh consecutive victory and, in turn, making it the Thunder’s 13th consecutive loss.
