NBA – Successful revenge against the Clippers, Russell Westbrook shows no mercy against them!

Par Mathieu Seguin | Rédacteur sport

And in the end, it was the Nuggets who prevailed. Nikola Jokic’s team-mates dominated the Clippers on Saturday night, giving Russell Westbrook the chance to exact his revenge. The mission was a success for him.

There was no real match between the Nuggets and Clippers on Saturday evening. Despite a relatively tight first round, Nikola Jokic’s team-mates accelerated in Game 7 with a 37-21 run in the second quarter. They continued to extend their lead after that, to the point where the Clippers gave up well before the end of the 48 minutes.

The final score? 120-101, which is hardly representative of the Nuggets’ dominance. The job is done for this franchise, which now heads for the second round to meet the Thunder. A promising series on paper, with Russell Westbrook hoping to make the difference. With 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals on Saturday, he made his mark.

Russell Westbrook takes revenge on the Clippers

It’s worth remembering that Brodie was traded by the Clippers for Kris Dunn, which explains the point guard’s anger and his desire to shine in this series. As a symbol, it was he who sealed the deal with a solo dunk on the counter-attack. He took a technical foul, but he had a clear message for the spectators.

In a press conference, Brodie even added a layer about his former team’s defense:

Russell Westbrook : “Like I said, if they keep defending like that against me, I’m going to make them pay. I guess it didn’t end well for them”

You can sense Westbrook’s bitterness, and it’s hard to blame him after being traded by the Clippers. In fact, the point guard was quick to evoke the trade, with a very brutal phrase for his former organization:

Westbrook : “You took the wrong person I guess.”
