Russell Westbrook blows through the Pelicans to drop the hammer (Video)
By Jack Crosby
Russell Westbrook is just having his way on Thursday night with the Pelicans and he scorched them again in the third.
The New Orleans Pelicans defense really has no interest in stopping Russell Westbrook on Thursday night. Like literally, they want no part of this man.
As the Oklahoma City Thunder are blowing the doors off the Pelicans on Thursday night, Westbrook hit them again late in the third quarter and the way that he hit them was just straight up nasty.
Westbrook was bringing the ball up the floor on the Thunder’s possession and it looked like maybe he was going to set something up. He was coming up the court so nonchalantly that it did seem like he wanted to set something up. Yeah, well, it looks like he changed his mind because when he got near the top of the key, he blew right through the defense and finished the play by dropping the hammer.

He hit them in the second quarter and he got them again here in the third. Although this one was a little rougher than the first.
One of these days you swear that man is going to bring the rim down with him.
