In yet another unprecedented performance, Russell Westbrook overwhelmed the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night with a performance for the history books.
Westbrook posted the second 20 point, 20 assist, 20 rebound game in the history of the NBA in a 119-103 home win over the Lakers.
The win pushes Oklahoma City to 45-33, pushing them into a tie with the San Antonio Spurs for 7th place in the Western Conference. Four games remain for the playoffs, and the Thunder could theoretically finish as high as 5th in the tight conference.
Without a doubt, the star of the show on Tuesday with Westbrook. The only other player in the history of the NBA to equal his 20-20-20 single-game output was legendary center Wilt Chamberlain, who accomplished the feat back in 1968.
Westbrook dedicated his game to rapper Nipsey Hussle, a fellow Los Angeles native that was killed in a drive-by shooting last Sunday.
Westbrook is now averaging a staggering 23.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game.
He and the Thunder will be back in action on Friday night at home against the Detroit Pistons.
