NBA fans react to Russell Westbrook’s performance in the Nuggets-Raptors game

On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets faced the Toronto Raptors in Canada.

The Nuggets had an incredible comeback to win (in overtime) 127-125.

Russell Westbrook finished his night with nine points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal while shooting 3-7 from the field and 0-1 from three-point range in 18 minutes of action.

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance on social media.

@CDan7el: “Russell Westbrook’s first win as a Nugget, looked much better today, Russ needs to keep getting better and by the way, Jokic is the best player in the world#MileHighBasketball”

@Inioluwa_xi: “Russell Westbrook needs to leave the ball before the basketball leaves him”

@IshaanBhatta: “Right now I just want Russell Westbrook to retire just so he can protect his legacy. The last three seasons have been atrocious and have done some irrevocable damage to his legacy.”

@Van_G23: “Russell Westbrook’s fall from superstar to sometimes worst player to ever play the game will be studied for ages”

@Shapalicious: “Besides shooting and terrible decision making, Russell Westbrook looks much better tonight – unfortunately, those two things are of little importance to the Nuggets…”

@TheWestWolfPod: “The Nuggets had no pulse. The fans and the media didn’t know what to say…then Russell Westbrook lit a fire under the Nuggets and they’re back in this thing!”

The Nuggets will play their next game on Tuesday night when they visit the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center in New York.
