Westbrook's all-around performance in the first half helped the Nuggets lead the 76ers

On January 22, the NBA regular season ushered in a focus game, and the Denver Nuggets led the Philadelphia 76ers 77-67 at halftime. Although the team's core Nikola Jokic is still the focus, the performance of Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook is also commendable. He made important contributions to the team's leading advantage with his all-around performance .

In the first half, Westbrook played for 16 minutes. He only took one shot but hit a three-pointer, made 2 of 2 free throws, contributed 5 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and demonstrated his comprehensive game ability. In terms of passing the ball and rebounding, Westbrook's speed and control of rhythm played a positive role. However, his turnover problem still exists, with 4 turnovers in the first half. Despite this, his plus-minus value was +9, indicating that the Nuggets performed better overall when he was on the court.

In this game, Westbrook did not rely too much on personal offense, but actively connected with his teammates to create opportunities for the Nuggets. His accurate passes constantly tore through the 76ers' defense and created easy scoring opportunities for his teammates. Whether it was the Nuggets' transition offense or the pick-and-roll cooperation in positional warfare, Westbrook played a key role. His all-around performance fully demonstrated the Nuggets' trust in him and the success of their strategy.

In terms of rebounding, Westbrook still showed a rare sense of smell and explosiveness among guards. His 5 rebounds provided a good foundation for the Nuggets' offense and defense transition. At the same time, he decisively shot a three-pointer from the outside, indicating that his ability to grasp opportunities is still online.

However, Westbrook's turnovers are still a problem he needs to pay attention to. The four turnovers in the first half exposed his occasional impatience in decision-making, which is also one of the hidden dangers that the Nuggets need to solve in the second half.

As the game progresses, whether Westbrook can continue to maintain his all-around performance and reduce his turnovers will be one of the important factors in whether the Nuggets can beat the 76ers. His organizational skills and overall influence will be directly related to the team's ultimate victory.
