Russell Westbrook picked up the second half of the regular season where he left off Sunday’s All-Star Game: dominating. The Oklahoma City Thunder superstar had nine points – including this soaring two-handed ham – during a typically energetic first quarter against the Dallas Mavericks, leading his team to a 25-19 lead.
Thursday’s trade deadline hubbub makes it easy to forget that this league, after all, is about what happens on the court first and foremost. And if Westbrook continues playing so well, the Thunder will surely be in a familiar position come spring despite their rocky start to 2014-2015.
