On a night where Kevin Durant received the MVP trophy in front of his hometown crowd, it was Russell Westbrook's star that shone brightest. While both players put up similarly impressive statistics, Westbrook made the vital plays in the 3rd quarter to pull away from the Clippers for good. Whether it was picking Chris Paul's pocket, or crashing the offensive boards, Westbrook's play was spectacular. It was one of the most amazing displays of effort and athleticism you will ever see. If Westbrook continues his relentless play, the Thunder will win the series no matter how well he shoots. At this point, this series appears to be a tossup. It is the effort plays, the ones that Westbrook is most capable of making, that will determine the end result.
