The Oklahoma City Thunder simply took care of business Sunday night, dispatching the visiting Phoenix Suns with a comfortable 124-103 victory. Russell Westbrook had 21 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals, because sure, why not, and Kevin Durant chipped in 32 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.
In case you had forgotten while they were dealing with injuries last year, these two are one of the deadliest duos in the league. A fact which they showed off loud and clear on Sunday.
The two also combined for a beautiful highlight out on the fastbreak. Westbrook lead the way, pushing the ball out ahead before dropping a no-look dish off to a streaking Durant. The big man knew what to do, slamming it home with authority.
It was an awesome moment in real time, but let’s slow down and watch it in slow motion. Seriously, it’s pretty sweet.
The close-up on Westbrook’s eyes is truly remarkable, as you can clearly see the slight hesitation and look away.
