As Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went to the free-throw line, the OKC crowd seamlessly went from "MVP" chants to a standard ovation. The old saying goes that you never forget your high school sweetheart. Oklahoma City Thunder fans can attest to that with Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook spent the first 11 years of his NBA career with the Thunder after being selected fourth overall by them in the 2008 draft. While he wasn't able to bring a NBA title to Oklahoma City, Thunder fans are forever indebted to Westbrook for making the team fun and exciting to watch.

Last night was a terrific evening for Russell Westbrook. That was until things got awkward after Game 1. Westbrook received a standing ovation during the matchup against his old team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was Mr. Triple-Double's first playoff game on the road in Oklahoma City with a live crowd.
