Russell Westbrook denies halfcourt shots by Denver Nuggets mascot (Video)

Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook blocked two halfcourt shots from Rocky, the Denver Nuggets mascot, during a timeout in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's NBA game at the Pepsi Center.

Nuggets fans had reason to boo Westbrook after that, especially since they would have received a free queso from burrito chain Qdoba if either of Rocky's halfcourt shots went in.

In the end, however, the Nuggets got their revenge with a 121-118 overtime victory.
