Clippers and Kings combine for 2nd-highest scoring game in NBA history in Russell Westbrook's debut

Russell Westbrook was the center of attention at the start of his Los Angeles Clippers debut, but all eyes were on the scoreboard by the end. Which took a while.

The former Los Angeles Lakers point guard's first minutes as a Clipper came in what turned out to be the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, a 176-175 double-overtime win for the Sacramento Kings. Per ESPN Stats & Info, the teams' combined 44 3-pointers was also the most in a game in NBA history.

The game finished 19 points short of the NBA record, a 186-184 triple-overtime win for the Detroit Pistons over the Denver Nuggets in 1983.
