In the victory over Sacramento, the Block Nuggets finally made connections and played with each other, with Westbrook playing time of 16:45 minutes, his fewest games since early December. It's also a far cry from his season-long average of 28 seasons per game. Rather than letting the older Westbrook play his part in the chaotic extended game – having recently killed Denver on the court, Adelman wasted no time when he started playing on the bench. This allowed sophomore point guard Jalen Pickett (18 points from 3-pointers and 7 points) to flourish in a much-needed victory. -VIA Today/April 12, 2025
