Carmelo Anthony: Thunder Need Russell Westbrook 'Playing, Not Trying to Defer

Published by Bleacher Report on Fri, 29 Dec 2017


Carmelo Anthony believes the biggest change for the Oklahoma City Thunder during their recent streak of 12 wins in 15 games is Russell Westbrook getting back to playing his style of basketball.Speaking to reporters after the Thunder's 124-107 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, their sixth straight victory, Anthony singled out Westbrook's performance as the key."I think the fact that Russ is just playing -- not trying to defer to anybody, to any one of us -- just playing his game and letting us play off him ... I think he's much more effective by doing that rather than deferring to myself or Paul," Anthony said, via ESPN's Royce Young.Westbrook's numbers certainly support Anthony's theory. The reigning NBA MVP is averaging 30 points, 10.3 assists and 8.3 rebounds and is shooting 56.3 percent during Oklahoma City's six-game winning streak.With Anthony and Paul George getting acclimated to their new surroundings and to playing alongside Westbrook, it took longer than expected for the Thunder to hit their stride. They were 8-12 after a Nov. 29 loss to the Orlando Magic.Following their win over the Raptors on Wednesday, the Thunder moved to a season-high five games over .500 (20-15) and are two games behind the Minnesota Timberwolves for first place in the Northwest Division.
