Today’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz was not an easy one since, for them, it would be similar to playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves. It is due to the fact that both teams have a similar record (21-22). Statistically, the Lakers have not fared well this season, and they are currently ranked no higher than fifth in the Western Conference. As the 9th seed, the Lakers’ path to the championship game this season will not be easy. Russell Westbrook displayed a great performance today.

Though criticized for his play in the past, Westbrook seems to have found a new player within himself today. A video of Westbrook’s incredible dunk from today’s game was shared on Twitter, and it received a lot of attention from fans.

The dominance of Westbrook with the ball was constantly debatable this season alongside LeBron James playing at the point forward position. The matchup does not always go as planned. In today’s performance, Westbrook demonstrated a new aspect of his game.

We caught some reactions on Twitter regarding Westbrook’s performance, with some saying “turned back the clock.”

Westbrook’s poor performance and the criticism he has faced throughout the season have been mentioned with the statement, “Man, that’s half a year worth of frustration right there.” As some mentioned, “Giannis Not Letting That Shit Happen”.

Coming at Jazz this season, they are estimated at 29-14 win. It wasn’t a good ride for Jazz either. The NBA’s health and safety protocols prevent some of their players from playing in the league at this time, such as Hassan Whiteside and Elijah Hughes. 

As we can see, today’s game is live. Don’t forget to watch Westbrook as it’s evident that the beast is regaining its form. Share your favorite highlights from the game as well.
