Russell Westbrook’s violent block of Damian Lillard’s layup was so darn beautiful

The fun in this Portland vs. Oklahoma series has been watching star point guards Damian Lillard and Russell Westbrook going at it the first few games.

Lillard was a force in the first two games, leading the Trail Blazers to two straight wins at home.

They continued their battle Friday night in Oklahoma City and Westbrook got the last laugh as the Thunder held off the Trail Blazers, 120-108, to get their first win of the series.

And the most memorable play from the game came on the defensive end for Westbrook, when he chased down Lillard and blocked his layup from behind in such a beautiful way early in the third quarter.

Can’t wait for Game 4 on Sunday night.
