Oklahoma City Thunder superstar point guard Russell Westbrook may not have played in Thursday's home game against the Houston Rockets, but that wasn't going to stop the explosive guard from having fun on the bench.
The Thunder blew out the Rockets, winning by a final score of 98-80 for their seventh-straight win. The Thunder's offense was clicking on all cylinders from start to finish and Westbrook was enjoying his teammates put on a show from the sideline.
During the third quarter, Dennis Schroder threw a beautiful alley-oop to big man Jerami Grant, and Russell Westbrook couldn't help but react and acknowledge the stellar play.

One thing you're going to get from Russell Westbrook is passion and support for his teammates. He's always talking on the bench and encouraging his guys to be great. That's why everyone in Oklahoma City loves the 29-year-old seven-time All-Star.
The Thunder started the season 0-4. Westbrook told reporters after the fourth loss that he would make sure the team turned it around. The 2017 league MVP has kept his promise, as the Thunder appear to be hitting a good stride.
Russell Westbrook is currently out with a left ankle injury and head coach Billy Donovan doesn't know when the Thunder's point guard will be back on the floor. In seven games this season, Russell Westbrook is averaging 24.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game.
