NBA fans react to Russell Westbrook’s alley-oop dunk from Nikola Jokic

The Denver Nuggets will play their third NBA preseason game on Sunday night. Denver welcomes the Phoenix Suns against the Boston Celtics after two preseason games in Abu Dhabi.

This is the second game Russell Westbrook has played with the Nuggets. In his Nuggets debut in Abu Dhabi, Westbrook had 12 points, eight assists and four rebounds.

In three quarters against Phoenix on Sunday, Westbrook had nine points and six assists. That included a dunk from the lane off a pass from Nikola Jokic, who nearly had a triple-double over three quarters of the game.
