Russell Westbrook was back against the New York Knicks on Friday night and doing very Russell Westbrook things. He rocketed out of the gate, and in the first quarter, outscored the entire Knicks team.

Westbrook finished with 32 points in the Thunder’s 105-78 win. It goes without saying: He was looking like his old self. As a matter of fact, with the exception of the brace on his right hand, he looks exactly the same. 

He was blowing by defenders from the wing,

Slashing through the entire defense,

And draining threes with ease.

Isn’t it good to have him back? Mitch McGarry certainly thinks so.
