After Westbrook grabbed his final rebound of the game he went on to dedicate the game to his close friend Nipsey Hussle, who was gunned down over the weekend.

Westbrook went on to talk about what Nipsey meant to him and how he’s going to follow in the late rappers footsteps in spreading positivity through community outreach programs.
"That was for Nipsey." 💙🙏
