The Denver Nuggets continued their dominance over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, earning a 127-102 victory. As he often does, Nikola Jokic dominated Los Angeles in this game, finishing with 34 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists in the win.

Six different Nuggets players scored in double figures, including all five starters and sixth man Russell Westbrook. Westbrook had a strong performance against his former team, finishing with 14 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds in just 24 minutes of play.

Westbrook spent parts of two seasons with the Lakers, appearing in 130 games for his hometown team. The nine-time NBA All-Star averaged 17.4 points, 7.2 assists and 6.9 rebounds during his time with the Lakers.

When asked about Westbrook after this game, Lakers star Anthony Davis spoke about his former teammate.

“He brings that energy,” Davis said. “You know how Russ plays, he plays hard. He made some shots, some steals, he played the way Russ plays. I’m pretty sure those guys know the history of us. He probably hyped him up a bit. When he comes into the game he is very disruptive and brings that juice for them. Especially when he makes plays, so I think that helped them a lot tonight.”

Westbrook and Davis were a fun duo in Los Angeles, but both Davis and LeBron James missed significant time due to injuries while Westbrook was there.
