In the postgame scrum, following the Game 2 loss, OKC Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook was asked about his ongoing competitive relationship with Damian Lillard and how it has progressed. Westbrook responded with “I don’t really have too much to say about that“.
This might be the wisest choice the enigmatic point guard has ever made when it comes to an opponent. And, it might also be a little bit too late. This battle has raged between the two for years and seemed to heat up this season. Perhaps Westbrook was fueled by being swept in 2017-18 as the Thunder returned that favor this season.
