Westbrook: 'I'm not answering any more Kevin (Durant) questions'
Russell Westbrook wasn't biting Wednesday on whether he felt any extra incentive going up against former Thunder teammate Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.
"I play every game like it's my last," Westbrook said, according to ESPN's Royce Young. "I play every game the same, always. Like I've been saying for years. And regardless of who we play, I'm going to play the same way."

Westbrook had just scored 35 points in a 85-83 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, enough of a line to keep his season average of a triple-double intact through four games.
Westbrook steadfastly refused to address Durant any further.
"I'm not answering any more Kevin questions," he said. "If you want to talk about basketball, I'm more than welcome to talk about that."

When asked about the widely held view that the Thunder will dip without Durant however, Westbrook shot back.
"Who said that?" Westbrook retorted. When informed it was many observers, he said, "That's where they went wrong."
