As is becoming tradition, the OKC Thunder played basketball on New Year’s Eve. With this year’s match against the Dallas Mavericks, OKC extended their franchise record to 9-2 on such occasions.
As also is tradition, Russell Westbrook tallied another triple-double (32 points on 13-24 shooting, 11 boards, 11 assists to go with four steals). This is his 114th such game and OKC now has a record of 93-21 (.815 win percentage) when he does so (just for you “stat padding” crowd).
This is on the heels of one of his worst shooting performances of his career and one of the more frustrating games for him as a pro.
