Bouncing back from a tough individual performance and team result against an even more intimidating foe proved necessary for Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder, which gave up a season-worst 140 points to the Denver Nuggets in a 13-point loss on Monday night.

Westbrook spent his first 11 seasons on the Thunder. He blossomed from a project player to an MVP winner. When he calls it quits and makes the Hall of Fame, expect him to don OKC's uniform. Everybody remembers their first love and the Thunder's shown that cliche also translates to professional sports.
