Russell Westbrook's 37 leads OKC over Lakers
Russell Westbrook - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
March 6, 2013 - 2:00 AM ET
Russell Westbrook was nearly flawless on Tuesday, hitting 15-of-29 shots for 37 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals and just one turnover in an easy win over the Lakers.
He didn't hit a 3-pointer and no, the 37 points were not a season high, as he had 38 points just two games prior, on March 1 against the Nuggets. He's now topped the 30-point plateau 13 times this season and the two turnovers the Thunder committed tonight tied an all-time NBA record, and Westbrook is the seventh best fantasy player this season, according to Basketballmonster.com. While arguments may have been able to be made in the past as to why Westbrook wasn't a great NBA point guard, they're all but dead now.
