Westbrook shines for Thunder
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 20 - 11 - 2016

Russell Westbrook scored his fourth triple double of the season as Oklahoma City cruised to a comfortable win over the visiting Brooklyn Nets Friday.
Westbrook, a man on a mission for the Thunder this season following Kevin Durant's departure, finished with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists to take his personal tally to 41 career triple-doubles.
More immediately, Westbrook's performance steered the Thunder to a comfortable 124-105 win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, helping his team improve to 8-5 for the season.
The 28-year-old is only the second player in NBA history to amass 13,000 points, 3,400 rebounds and 4,500 assists in his first 600 career games.
Legendary former Cincinnati Royals and Milwaukee Bucks player Oscar Robertson was the first to reach that milestone.
Oklahoma City's Victor Oladipo gave Westbrook vital back up with 26 points and six assists while New Zealand center Steven Adams added 15 and six boards.
Brook Lopez led scoring for Brooklyn with 22 points. Bojan Bogdanovic added 13 points, while Anthony Bennett finished with 12 points as well.
Cavaliers 104, Pistons 81: Kyrie Irving scored 25 points and passed for a season-high 11 assists, LeBron James scored 21 points and Kevin Love had 12 points and 13 rebounds in a 104-81 win against the Detroit Pistons.
J.R. Smith passed Dirk Nowitzki for 15th place on the 3-point career list and now has 1,706.
Warriors 104, Celtics 88: The Golden State Warriors put on a clinic in the third quarter en route to a 104-88 road win over an undermanned Boston Celtics.
Ahead by seven at halftime, the Warriors went on a 24-3 run — capped by an 18-0 streak — to break open the competitive game and power to their sixth straight victory.
Klay Thompson scored 11 of his 28 points in the quarter, with the Golden State defense holding the Celtics to 2-for-17 shooting from the floor in the quarter.
Steph Curry avoided a season low when he hit a 3-pointer and another basket late, finishing with 16 points (his low was 13).
Raptors 113, Nuggets 111 (OT): DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Kyle Lowry scored 18 and had 13 assists and the Toronto Raptors beat the Denver Nuggets in overtime.
Danilo Gallinari scored 21 points and hit all 13 of his free throws for the Nuggets.
Spurs 116, Lakers 107: LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard scored 23 points each to lead seven San Antonio players in double figures, and the Spurs held off the Los Angeles Lakers.
Pau Gasol and Tony Parker contributed 16 points apiece. Parker dished out seven assists.
Lou Williams scored 24 points to lead the Lakers (7-6), who have lost six straight to the Spurs.
Clippers 121, Kings 115: Blake Griffin scored 29 points, and J.J. Redick tallied 22 of his 26 in the first half, and the Los Angeles Clippers held on to beat the Sacramento Kings.
Suns 116, Pacers 96: The Phoenix Suns haven't exactly been road warriors, but they took advantage of an Indiana Pacers squad missing All-Star Paul George and 3-point shooter C.J. Miles for an easy victory.
Hornets 100, Hawks 96: Nicolas Batum scored a season-high 24 points, Cody Zeller scored 23 and Kemba Walker had 21 as the Charlotte Hornets rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Atlanta, snapping the Hawks' six-game win streak.
Pelicans 113, Trail Blazers 101: Anthony Davis returned from a one-game injury absence, Jrue Holiday made his season debut and the duo led the New Orleans Pelicans to victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Davis scored a game-high 38 points, while Holiday came off the bench to score 21 for the Pelicans (3-10).
Grizzlies 80, Mavericks 64: Chandler Parsons scored 12 points in his return to Dallas and the Memphis Grizzlies breezed by the injury-riddled Mavericks.
