Russell Westbrook Honored in Return to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder played a tribute video for Westbrook before Thursday night's game.
It was Westbrook's first game against the Thunder since joining the Houston Rockets in the off-season.
Man, some things you can't put into words, just because I've been here so long, so many great memories, great people.

Obviously, the best fans in the world, because they come with it, and tonight they came with it.

Obviously, we got smacked, but it was a dope environment.
Oklahoma City, as usual, showed mad love to Russell and everything he's done.
