Thunder's Russell Westbrook shut down by Jazz in Game 3
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had a brutal showing against the Utah Jazz on Saturday during a 115-102 loss in Game 3, making 5-of-17 from the field for 14 points with 11 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one 3-pointer and eight turnovers.
What It Means:
Utah center Rudy Gobert's presence in the paint neutralized Westbrook's driving in a big way, and point guard Ricky Rubio shut Brodie down on the perimeter as well. Westbrook has struggled down the stretch for two games straight, which is a problem for a guy that sucks up so much usage.
Westbrook put up 38.7 FanDuel points at a salary of $12,000 on Saturday night.
