Russell Westbrook Opens Up About Matchup With Steph Curry

The LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors played an incredibly exciting game on Wednesday night, with LA surviving a 50-point explosion from Steph Curry. The Clippers got a solid showing from Russell Westbrook, who did well to counter Golden State's unique defensive scheme by crashing the offensive glass and attacking in transition.

When asked about Westbrook after the game, Curry said, "The one thing about Russ we all know, is no matter what people say about him or how he's playing, he competes. I know [the Clippers] love that about him. Every night he shows up and plays hard. That's something you can't teach. It's kind of a lost art these days."

Westbrook was asked about Curry before Friday morning's practice, and said, "It's always good. Like you said, we've been competing for some time now. Year after year. Obviously seeing him continue to do great things and still competing at a high level is always great. Especially someone you've competed with over the years. It's been good."

There is a lot of mutual respect between the two Hall of Fame point guards, as this era of basketball cannot be explained without detailing their contributions. The all-time leader in three-pointers made and the all-time leader in triple-doubles, Curry and Westbrook have enjoyed competing against one another for several years now.
