Russell Westbrook Kills Fast Break with Monster Block

Russell Westbrook and Hassan Whiteside bookend possessions with monster blocks, but Westbrook's is the winner.

Hassan Whiteside started a fast break with a huge block, and then Russell Wesbrook went ahead and ended it with an even bigger block of his own. Enes Kanter made the mistake of trying a little floater layup with Whiteside on the court, and Whiteside tossed it right out of the way, perfectly setting up Goran Dragic to push it up the court. Dragic made a mistake of his own, however, when he tried to score on Russell Westbrook's hoop. Westbrook sent that thing flying with such vicious contempt, I can barely watch it.

Oh, what's that, we're going to watch it again? OK, sure. I guess I can watch it 70 or so more times. I will especially watch the part where Westbrook jumps before Dragic and just sort of hangs in the air waiting for him to finally put up his stupid, blockable shot.

Ah, that's the stuff.
