They are also fighting against their old clubs, why did Westbrook beat the Clippers but suffered consecutive defeats when facing the Thunder?

In the previous NBA playoff Western Conference semi-finals G6, the Denver Nuggets, who played at home, defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-107. After this game, the Nuggets also stubbornly tied the total score of this round of series to 3-3. Next, both sides need to compete for another spot in the Western Conference Finals through a brutal tiebreak battle.

In this game, the Nuggets' substitute backcourt veteran Russell Westbrook is still a bit worrying. Westbrook played 16 minutes and 56 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 8 shots, 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, and 4 turnovers, with a plus-negative value of -9. Westbrook's efficiency on the offensive end is still not particularly ideal, and he still cannot find his shooting feeling. Moreover, he made a lot of mistakes in his limited playing time, wasting a lot of ball rights. Westbrook's performance on the defensive end is not particularly ideal, and he has not taken on more tasks. Overall, Westbrook's role in both offense and defense is very limited, and he has not played a good role on the court. With Westbrook's ability, he should have played a more important role on the court and provided more help and support to the team on both offense and defense.

In the NBA regular season this season, Westbrook made a total of 75 appearances in 82 games, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.1%. In the playoffs, Westbrook played 12 games in the first 13 games, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 24.2 minutes per game, averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 2.2 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 31%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 70%.

Westbrook's performance in the previous round of the series was amazing. Facing his old club, the Los Angeles Clippers, he fully proved his strength and made considerable contributions to the promotion. However, in this round of the series, Westbrook still had no outstanding performance in the face of his old club, Thunder. His condition can be said to have experienced a cliff-like decline. Westbrook was the sixth player on the team before, and his importance to the team is also very prominent. However, in this round of the series, due to Westbrook's performance, the Nuggets' bench depth has further declined, and the team's competitiveness has become even more limited. In the next G7, what performance can Westbrook perform?
