The Wizards beat the Indiana Pacers 132-124 with Bradley Beal sidelined with a hip injury because Russell Westbrook erupted with a vintage 35 points, 14 rebounds, 21 assists masterpiece.
Westbrook, long renowned for preposterous volume of both the good and bad, wrecked the Pacers with 35 points on 26 shots. Indiana was willing to concede threes to Westbrook, and he was happy for the opportunity, hitting four of six.
According to my Player Production Average metric (see below), this was Westbrook’s second best game of the season behind the 41 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists hurting he put on the Brooklyn Nets earlier this season.
