Russell Westbrook looked like his old self tonight. Without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in uniform, Westbrook went off for 36 points and 10 rebounds on 13-18 from the field and 5-5 from deep as the undermanned Clippers beat the Grizzlies 141-132 on the road.

Russ damn show look like the old Russ playing under T-Lue. The Brodie dropped an efficient 38 piece wing “All Flats” tonight with the W on a Memphis Grizzlies team that had been pretty dominant at home! Btw he did with no PG and Kawhi! Carry the hell on…

RUSSELL WESTBROOK FLASHES BACK ON GRIZ IN MEMPHIS … and it will turn out to be fool's gold. No Kawhi. No PG. So Russ went "Washington Russ," solo star. Griz didn't take Clips seriously enough. Russ was great-old-days sensational. Congrats … for one night.

Russ is so cold, bro!
He plays the traditional point guard with Paul George and Kawhi on the floor, but he's letting the world know tonight that Russell Westbrook is still HIM! pic.twitter.com/3ljTEn7UDA
