Raymond Felton had an interesting perspective on Russell Westbrook following Portland's 103-93 win at Oklahoma City.

“That’s the type of guy he is, that’s his mindset, that’s how he plays,” Felton said of Westbrook. “He’s always in a one-on-one battle with all the point guards. I’m not really into that. I’m into winning. If you win, everybody gets the praises. We are not wearing ‘Felton’ on the front of our jerseys; it says Blazers. I care about the Blazers winning.”

Scott Brooks, however, praised Westbrook's play in the game.

“I thought Russell had one of his best games,” said Brooks, unsolicited. “He left everything on the court. He made plays for us. He was moving the ball. He was defending.”

Oklahoman beat writer Darnell Mayberry writes that Westbrook has frequently had similar battles over the years with fellow point guards.
