Vine/NBA
At some point, Russell Westbrook decided that he would not only refuse to let the Oklahoma City Thunder lose a fifth straight game, but would end their losing skid in the most emphatic way imaginable.

With the Thunder inbounding the ball, up three in the final seconds of regulation Wednesday night, Westbrook opted not to try dribble out the clock or wait to get fouled. Instead, he took the inbound feed, went straight to the rim, and sealed the Thunder's win over former teammate James Harden and the Houston Rockets with this enormous left-handed cram on Clint Capela.
He finished with 30 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists in the win.
