Westbrook, who had Wemby in his grill, looked back at him with a frown that bordered on disgust. In addition to making the subsequent free throw, Wembanyama ended up having the final laugh as the Spurs defeated the Nuggets 113-110. He grabbed 18 rebounds and scored 35 points on 14 of 22 shooting during the game. In 31 minutes, Westbrook only managed nine points for the Nuggets.
However, the Nuggets once again played the Spurs in back-to-back matches where it was Westbrook who prevailed. Nuggets star Nikola Jokic starred for his side with a whopping 46 points and 9 rebounds against the Spurs. Westbrook had an average night according to his standards but was important during defense this time around.
