Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook led all scorers with 33 points in a Game 3 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. (Cooper Neill/Getty Images)Nothing fuels playoff basketball quite like an old-fashioned clash of pride, which is why the Portland Trail Blazers vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder is the best show going right now. Lillard flexed before burying a deep three-pointer in Game 2, and Westbrook had no intention of letting the slight go. “We’re going to continue to trust them and make the right play,” Westbrook said. Blazers vs. Thunder will hinge on whether Lillard outlasts Westbrook, or the other way around.
