Like I said, everyone in this world is entitled to their opinion and that's that."Dwight Howard, who started at center and proved no match for Denver's reigning MVP, Nikola Jokic (17 points, 13 assists, 12 rebounds), echoed Westbrook's sentiments about Johnson. Speaking to a small group of reporters as he made his way out of the interview room, Howard said it was telling that the former Lakers great was offering his critique online and not in person by visiting the team's practice facility.However, while the two objected to Johnson's method of delivery, they seemed to agree with his actual message.Westbrook too called out L.A.'s lack of effort, as it was outrebounded 51-41 and allowed the Nuggets to shoot 23-for-40 from 3-point range."We just got to play hard," Westbrook said.
