Oklahoma City Thunder: One way or another, Russell Westbrook will make an impact

The most confounding player in the NBA might have just played his most confounding game.

Russell Westbrook wasn’t a factor in last year’s Thunder-Grizzlies series. Didn’t play because of injury. So this time around, he’s making up for lost time.

And that’s been both good and bad for the Thunder – depending on the possession.

During OKC’s heartbreaking 100-99 Game 5 overtime loss to the Grizzlies on Tuesday night, Westbrook, at times, kept the Thunder in it.
