  • Russell Westbrook Has Twenty Fifth Triple Double Of Season In Thunder Win

    Grizzlies vs. Thunder - Game Recap - February 3, 2017 - ESPN

    OKLAHOMA CITY -- For three quarters, Russell Westbrook did most of his damage passing and rebounding.

    Once his shot started falling, the Memphis Grizzlies were finished.

    Westbrook scored 19 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter and had a triple-double to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 114-102 victory Friday night.

    Westbrook, the NBA's leading scorer, shot just 4 of 14 from the field in the first three quarters. He bounced back and went 4 of 6 from the floor and 9 of 9 on free throws in roughly nine minutes of action in the fourth. He scored Oklahoma City's last 15 points, all in the final 2:35.

    "He's amazing that, in that pressure moment, he's just like, man, loves it," Thunder center Steven Adams said. "That's what's awesome."

    The Thunder trailed 89-85 when Westbrook checked back into the game, and they outscored the Grizzlies 29-13 the rest of the way.

    Westbrook also had 13 rebounds and 12 assists. It was his 25th triple-double this season and the 62nd of his career. His season total is the most in the NBA since Wilt Chamberlain had 31 during the 1967-68 season.
