Oklahoma City Thunder superstar point guard Russell Westbrook had no mercy for Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard's ankles on Tuesday.
In the second quarter, Russell Westbrook had a nasty left-to-right crossover and Damian Lillard dropped to the floor, generating oohs and aahs from the sellout Thunder crowd at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Westbrook finished the stellar play by hitting a mid-range jumper, a really good sign considering Russ has been struggling with his jump shot so far this season.

Russell Westbrook is a blur in transition and impossible to contain in the half court. Damian Lillard is also not the best defender in the NBA, creating a highlight opportunity for Westbrook, who didn't disappoint.
Westbrook entered Tuesday averaging 21.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game. The former MVP is looking to average a triple-double for an entire season for the third year in a row.
Russell Westbrook just continues to show he is really in a class of his own.
The Thunder entered the night at 28-18, good for third place in the Western Conference standings. Paul George and Westbrook are looking to lead OKC on a championship run and so far, the team is fitting that bill as the All-Star break is almost a month away.
