WASHINGTON, D.C. — Russell Westbrook was stunned as he dribbled at the top of the 3-point line at the Capital One Center.
As Jerami Grant ran out to set a screen, two incomprehensibly lost Wizards defenders went with Grant. Westbrook — the man whose jumper is still getting calibrated — suddenly had an open path to the rim.
Westbrook rarely ever walks on offense, but he could have strolled instead of sprinted on this particular drive of the Thunder's 134-111 blowout of the Wizards.
En route to a fourth consecutive win, the Thunder tied a franchise record for points in a half (79).
