On Saturday evening, the Denver Nuggets lost (at home) to the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 123-100.

Russell Westbrook finished with 17 points, four rebounds and one assist while shooting 7/17 from the field and 3/7 from the three-point range in 24 minutes.

Many people were talking about Westbrook on social media.

@TheWestWolfPod: “Jokic had 6 TOs, and Murray had 5 TOs.

If you’re blaming Russell Westbrook for this game, you’re doing it wrong.

The Nuggets issues defensively are the same issues they’ve had all season. The lack of defense vs. good teams hurts their offense.

Have a good night.”

The Nuggets dropped to 37-20 in 57 games, which has them as the third seed in the Western Conference.

Did I just hear Westbrook had good numbers with the Lakers??? He was the NBA’s worst 3-point shooter and was at or near the bottom in turnovers. No, he was a nightmare, which was why the 2 Laker superstars who originally wanted him … wanted him gone.

They had their nine-game winning streak snapped.
