Russell Westbrook Drops SEASON-HIGH 36 Points In Clippers W! | March 29, 2023

Acceleration from a line to the lane, the drive and the dish, and they work it back over to Westbrook for the three, and he knocks it in, so back-to-back threes for the Clippers. Only wants to take his man off the bounce, spinning. Westbrook for three. It still counts, that's nine unanswered for the Clippers, all coming from above the arc. Clippers being able to lock in defensively, then convert once on the offensive end, another positive defensive play. Clippers on that 9-0 run, all coming from three-point shots, Plumlee inside, lays it up at end. Westbrook backs down on Morant, into the paint, and knocks it down, and Russell Westbrook with eight first quarter points for the Clippers. And both have had success with their teams. Kennard again leading the NBA, in three-point shooting, lob inside to Russ, ball fake off the window, and in, count it, and a foul. Because you got David Roddy, you got Xavier Tillman, you have Jaron Jackson Jr., but also Stephen Adams, where's the time that comes to really get, whoa, real-time game movement, and that's Russ. Westbrook feeling good, a heat check, and Russell Westbrook is on a bender here in the first quarter. Suhu backing down on Tillman, they get over in the corner to Westbrook, Westbrook explodes down the baseline, no look to Suhu, but a flush. 644 to play in the first half, Clippers lead by two, from the line to the lane to an open, Robert Covington for three, it's good again, the second three for Covington. Morant went through that eight-game suspension, came off the bench, I think a lot of us probably thought it was conditioning, and just getting his legs back, as Westbrook attacks, smooches it off the glass, and in for two more. Wow. Clippers out in front by four, if you're just joining us, they scored the first five points of the game, and then Memphis went on an 18 to nothing run, and then Russell Westbrook went wild, 20 for Westbrook. I think also too, if you think of Western Conference, can you name a team that hasn't had to deal with it, maybe has an advantage of. All 30 of his points, the 10 coming from the three, was another player that did that previously. Covington lombs it in, knocks it down, 11 for Covington off the bench. Under a minute to play, in the second quarter, the Clippers have been able to control, can Gordon silence the crowd? He can, as the strings make an evil hiss. Clippers out in front, by nine, Westbrook, man, open for three, lets it fly, book it, 13 threes for the Clippers. Westbrook, 10 to shoot, rises for the three, oh my goodness, five for five from above the arc. 25 for the Clippers, the meter is still running, off the window, and in, 27 for Westbrook. Covington, for three in the corner, has it missed tonight. 29 for Brooks so far, rises for the three, and Evita Zubats clears it away, Westbrook back the other way, Russell Westbrook, in overdrive, to the rim, and lays it in. Third foul on Moran, Westbrook, gets to the rim, off the window and in, Westbrook with 31, it's a timeout from Memphis. The Clippers out in front by seven, they've had opportunities with turnovers, have not been able to capitalize, Westbrook, down the lane, he's done it again, 34 for Westbrook.
