On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets blew out Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns by a score of 117-90 (at home in Colorado).

Russell Westbrook finished the victory with 11 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals while shooting 5/12 from the field and 1/5 from the three-point range in 25 minutes of playing time.

Many fans on social media reacted to his performance.

@JeremyNicolls: “Russell Westbrook stealing the pass from Kevin Durant and dunking it was just beautiful to watch.”

@TheWestWolfPod: “The start of this 3rd Quarter is EXACTLY why you should permanently start Russell Westbrook!”

@TheWestbrookEra: “KD woke Russ up thank you Mr KD”

@AndrewDBailey: “If, by the end of this season, just one or two Nuggets pick up some fraction of Russell Westbrook’s energy and desire to win, his contract will have been well worth it.”

@RussFcb: “Everytime Westbrook and KD face off, Russ either blocks him from behind or gets steals off. Tears”

@jjespinoza17: “It’s night and day when Westbrook is in charge. And it’s CLEARY better when we play fast and get out and run. Mal be so slow now for no reason.”

@luke_kurtz1: “Russell Westbrook a human X-Factor…Brodie came out of the half ready to roll and the Nuggets flipped that game so fast”

The Nuggets improved to 16-11 in 27 games, which has them as them as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

They will now travel to Arizona to play the Phoenix Suns (again) on Christmas.
