There were a few times during the game that it was Westbrook vs. Ben Simmons with the two trading dunks on both ends, including a Simmons steal and dunk to tie the game 101-101. But, there’s a reason that Westbrook is the NBA’s reigning MVP. His experience level was on full display in both offensive and defensive sets. He wasn’t the only one scoring big for the Thunder — Paul George finished with 31 points — but it was Westbrook’s energy and unwillingness to stop that gave the Thunder the edge. He finished the night with a game-high 37 points to go with 14 assists, and 9 rebounds.
