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

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

The Nuggets made an incredible comeback to win (in overtime) with a score of 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 play.

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance on social media.

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

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

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

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

@Shapalicious: “Aside from the shooting and terrible decision-making, Russell Westbrook looked a lot better tonight – unfortunately, both of those things are insignificant for the Nuggets…”

@TheWestWolfPod: “The Nuggets had no pulse. The fans and 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.
