Russell Westbrook returns from ankle sprain to scores 36 points

Russell Westbrook might be indestructible. After turning his ankle near the end of the second quarter, the Thunder point guard returned and dominated, although Oklahoma City would eventually fall to the Denver Nuggets.

Westbrook finished the night with 36 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and a 3-pointer. He hit 10-of-26 shots from the field and 15-17 free-throws. Sounds like he's good to go.

Kevin Durant kept rolling, too. After knocking down all 21 of his free throws and going for 52 points, the Durantula hit 20-of-21 free throws on the way to 37 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, two steals and three 3-pointers.
