Westbrook’s performance against former team helps Nuggets take 1-0 lead over Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook had yet another magic moment in Oklahoma City.

This time, it was for the visitors.

Westbrook assisted on Aaron Gordon’s game-winning 3-pointer, and the Denver Nuggets stunned the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder 121-119 on Monday night.

Westbrook scored 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting and was a key support player for Nikola Jokic’s monster 42-point, 22-rebound performance.

It was Westbrook’s first playoff game in Oklahoma City as an opponent.
