Remember when he had a fractured hand?
Russell Westbrook is out here playing like his hand is made out of steel ever since coming back from injury, showing everyone in the league he can still throw down a monster slam whenever he gets a chance. It seems like his dunk percentage has gone up since putting on the brace and taking the court after fracturing the right hand, because he’s making rims everywhere pay for missing a month.
The Cleveland Cavs (without Lebron James) were the next victim in Russ’ path, as seen Thursday night in a match at home. On the break and uncontested, Westbrook took the lane and electrified the crowd and the bench, including teammate Kevin Durant with a one-handed slam.
Russell led all scorers with 26 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the Oklahoma City Thunder‘s 103-94 win against the Cavs.
