Russell Westbrook put together an absolutely ridiculous performance on Thursday night, dropping 46 points (on 19-of-29 shooting from the field) to lead the Thunder to a 121-112 victory over the Wizards.
The game also happened to be televised nationally on TNT, and featured the terrific Kevin Harlan on the call. And on a vicious jam Westbrook threw down in the fourth quarter, Harlan called it as only he can:

“WESTBROOK, OH MY GOODNESS! WHEN YOU GET UP THAT HIGH, YOU GOTTA THROW IT DOWN HARD! WHAT A PLAY!
WESTBROOK… ELEVATES… COCKS AND ROCKS IT!
WOO!”
Kevin Harlan is a national treasure.
