Russell Westbrook is the MVP
Russell Westbrook scored 32 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 12 assists, extending his streak of triple-doubles to six games as the Thunder held off the Atlanta Hawks 102-99 on Monday night.
It is the NBA's longest such run since Michael Jordan had seven in a row in 1989.
"I just read the game," Westbrook said. "The game will tell you what to do."
Westbrook has sparked a six-game winning streak by the Thunder and reached double figures in all three categories in half of their 22 games.
By contrast, Jordan had 15 triple-doubles for the entire 1988-89 season.
