Thunder vs. Hornets - Game Recap - November 1, 2018 - ESPN
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- James Borrego wasn't upset Russell Westbrook put up 29 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds against his team Thursday night. He expected that from the seven-time All-Star.
What bothered Charlotte's first-year coach is that Alex Abrines had 25 points on five 3-pointers and Dennis Schroder was able to get to the rim effectively and add 21 more, helping the Oklahoma Thunder overcame a 19-point deficit to beat Borrego's Hornets 111-107 for their third straight win.
Borrego called it "game plan errors."
Paul George had a different explanation: that's just the way Westbrook impacts games. He called the seven-time All-Star "one of the baddest dudes in the league."
