Houston got the 105-99 win over the Thunder in Game 5, advancing to the second round of the playoffs. But of course, Russell Westbrook did not go down without a fight.
The Brodie posted 47 points (including 20 in the third quarter), 11 rebounds, and 9 assists in an effort to keep his season alive. Peep the highlights above.
OKC actually led by five heading into the fourth quarter, but failed to hold on once again.
Russ definitely deserves a thank you for his historic season.
