Russell Westbrook continues to carry the Oklahoma City Thunder in the absence of Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka, but lately he's had some help from recently-acquired center Enes Kanter, who's averaging 18.2 points and 11.4 rebounds in March.
Does Westbrook smell a threat to his undisputed alpha-dog status? Not likely. But in case there was any confusion, he cleared things up on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Two of his 23 first-half points came on this dazzling alley-oop finish, in which he beat out Kanter for the lob and ended up dunking all over his teammate.
Westbrook said to Kanter after the game: "If you want that, you got to get up higher than that!"
