Russell Westbrook shot 2-of-10 from the field and 1-of-4 from the foul line in Thursday’s loss to Oklahoma City, finishing with six points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 21 minutes.
As expected, Westbrook brought the energy in his Nuggets debut. Unfortunately, he and the rest of the bench brought little production, especially offensively. Denver’s reserved combined to score 16 points, and the Nuggets don’t have the same margin for error they’ve had in recent seasons. Westbrook’s play is worth monitoring, but the inefficiency makes him a difficult player to rely on in standard leagues.
