1 of 7 shots and only 4 points! Westbrook returned to his original form: 2 outrageous times, but was abandoned at critical moments

On May 14, in the NBA playoffs, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 105-112 away, and fell behind 2-3 with a big score. Jokic was in a hot state in this game, helping the team take the initiative in the first three quarters and once gained a 12-point lead. Unfortunately, the team's offense was silent in the last quarter and was directly overtaken by the score. Jokic scored points one after another and was unable to make up for the day, and eventually lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain away.

Jokic scored 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, and he tried his best. Unfortunately, he failed to get enough support, and only 2 people around him scored in double digits. Westbrook, who shined in the first round, failed to stand up this time and fell into a slump and did not bring enough help. Westbrook is the core of the Nuggets' substitute. Once he falls into a downturn, it means that the team's substitute will be at an absolute disadvantage. Obviously, this time it did not provide good help.

Westrow played only 20 minutes in the whole game, 1 of 7 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus value of -1. Westbrook also lost his sight in many open shots. The only goal came from the basket. He received a pass from his teammate at the last moment of the third quarter. He successfully scored. Unexpectedly, this was his only goal in this game. Westbrook was in a bad state in the last game, with 2 of 12 shots and 6 points, and the team eventually lost the game.

In the game, the Thunder's tactics still slapped Westbrook. He was able to hit his opponent before, but this time he lost himself and was even beaten back to his original form. The highlights of the first round were only a flash in the pan. Westbrook also got some open opportunities in this game, but he made two outrageous shots, both of which were no one defending outside the three-point line, which was somewhat a bit of a blow to morale. Since the feel is no longer there, Westbrook was also abandoned at a critical moment.

At the last critical moment, acting coach Adelman chose to replace Westbrook and replaced Porter Jr., thinking that it could pose some threat to the outside. Unfortunately, Porter Jr. was in a bad state this time, with 1 of 7 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers, only 2 points, and even three-pointers were not hit. In this way, Westbrook returned to normal and did not continue the magic of the first round against the Clippers. Once he failed to make a three-pointer, the team would face an unfavorable situation of 4-on-5 on the court.
