It was the former Thunder legend who assisted Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon on the game-winning 3-pointer with four seconds left.

But Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook will seemingly always be in the good graces of Oklahoma City Thunder fans. He received a standing ovation Monday night in Denver’s Game 1 victory like he still played for Oklahoma City.

The Thunder faithful were on their feet as they watched Westbrook enter the game at the 5:17 mark of the first quarter. Before the game, the nine-time All-NBA point guard said that OKC is "like home" for him and that he "always got love for everybody there."
