Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook hits the top three-point shooting percentage, surpassing Stephen Curry

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage is shocking, surpassing Stephen Curry's 3-point shooting percentage, even surpassing Stephen Curry. The future Hall of Famer has injected new vitality into the 2023 championship team and continues to play an active role in Game 7 against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Nuggets started slowly but performed well in the second and third quarters, eventually defeating the Clippers 120-101. Westbrook performed well on both ends of the offense and defense, scoring 16 points and sending out 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals.

The nine-time All-Star hits as high as two-quarters of the three-point shooting percentage, which complements his amazing three-point efficiency. StatMuse recently posted on Twitter that Westbrook made significant improvements in the playoff three-pointer.

Russell Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage is higher than Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard, Jason Tatum, Anthony Edwards and Jaylen Brunson.

From a MVP with a big data list to a top three-pointer. It's such a good time to live in the present.

Nuggets showed enough to beat any opponent in Saturday's game.

For Denver, this game is the result of the concerted efforts of the whole team. After being eliminated in Game 7 of home last season, the team ensured that history doesn’t repeat itself. While Nikola Jokic has performed well in creating open shots for his teammates, he scored just 16 points against the Clippers. But the other five starting players also scored double digits, including the team's highest 22-pointer Aaron Gordon. Denver showed offensive diversity, which was necessary for them to beat the promising Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round.

This result is encouraging, and the Nuggets seem to have grown up in the series, especially after losing their first frustrating game at home. This team should continue to improve, especially after adapting to the recent roster adjustments. Michael Malone is no longer the head coach, and he and general manager Calvin Booth were fired with only a few games left in the regular season. Longtime NBA assistant coach David Adelman now coaches and may receive a full-time promotion.

Overall, the Clippers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA before the series, and the Nuggets seem to be heading in the opposite direction. But Denver eventually won and returned to the second round for the third consecutive year. Now, most of the pressure is shifting to the 68-win Thunder, who have just swept the Memphis Grizzlies. Denver had only one day to recover before the first game Monday. This series will be a showdown between the top two regular season MVP candidates - Jokic and Shay Gilgers-Alexander. It was amazing, the Nuggets reached their peak at the right time. Russell Westbrook made an indelible contribution.
