The Kings narrowly defeated the Nuggets 128-123 and won their fourth victory of the season. It was definitely an exciting victory for the Kings to defeat the Nuggets, who were second in the Western Conference, at a time when the situation was in turmoil. The hero of this victory was 37-year-old Russell Westbrook. Westbrook, who was ignored during the offseason, has now become the only bright spot for the Kings.

The Kings are ready to reorganize their lineup. Savoy, LaVine, DeRozan and others are already on the shelves, and there is even news that DeRozan may be bought out. The most struggling players in this campaign are Westbrook and Schroeder. Only these two new players in the team scored 20+ points. Westbrook even scored 15 points in a row in the final quarter.
In the final quarter, Westbrook made 6 of 8 and 2 of 2 three-pointers to score 15 points. Especially when Westbrook hit the winning goal 36 seconds before the end, the Kings were already leading by 5 points. It was too difficult to chase 5 points in 36 seconds. Although Jokic made a three-pointer, DeRozan then hit a 2+1 to end the game.

In this game, Westbrook made 9 of 16, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws in 30 minutes. He scored 21 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. He shot 56.2% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range.

This campaign was another milestone night for Westbrook. He completed 9,509 sports games in his career and entered the top 20 in league history.

In addition, Westbrook has become the fourth player in history with at least 20 points and 10 assists. Although he holds a basic salary, he is setting records in almost every game.

The Kings' total salary this season is as high as 210 million U.S. dollars, with LaVine 47.49 million, Sasha 42.33 million, DeRozan 24.75 million, and Monk 1.79 million. Westbrook has an unguaranteed base salary of 3.6 million. Now the young master has become the king's thigh?

This season, Westbrook averaged 14.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39%. Who can say that he is not capable of fighting?
