After Wednesday’s 149-106 blowout win to even the series 1-1, a reporter asked Gilgeous-Alexander of the contrast in which Westbrook was received between games 1 and 2 at the Paycom Center. “The ovation is beautiful, the things he’s done for this city, this organization, he deserves it no matter what. And what he’s done for the game period, has been special,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “Just because he’s on the other team it doesn’t change anything. The boos tonight, our crowd, they got it, they do what they want when they want, and they always have our back. And that’s all that matters to me and our team. But they can cheer for Russ and have our back.”
