To anyone doubting Russell Westbrook‘s ability to keep getting triple-doubles with James Harden as a teammate, Saturday’s performance was for you. Despite some teammates struggling that are normally reliable, The Brodie was able to lead the Houston Rockets to victory in the fourth quarter.
The game was much closer than expected, as Jrue Holiday was a late scrap to the lineup in addition to Zion Williamson for the Pelicans. Holiday is one of the best in the league at checking Harden, so he was expected to go off for his usual 35 or beyond.
