Russell Westbrook is clutch, records 14th triple double of the season: 45+11+11
Another unbelievable performance for Westbrook
With the clock running down and the Thunder falling behind, Russell Westbrook turned unstoppable.
The Oklahoma City point guard had his 14th triple-double of the season and his third straight 40-point game, scoring 45 points with 11 assists and 11 rebounds on Friday night to lead the Thunder to a 117-112 victory over the Boston Celtics.
Westbrook scored the last seven points of the first half after and Oklahoma City's last 15 in the game, including eight straight during a 10-0 run that gave the Thunder the lead for good.
"It's important for me to know how to close games," Westbrook said. "All the best players figure out how to close games."
