No triple-double, but Westbrook leads Thunder past Celtics
OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook’s triple-double streak ended at seven games, but he finished the night with two things that meant more to him — a win and his long-lost shooting stroke.
Westbrook scored 23 of his 37 points in the second half to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Boston Celtics 99-96 on Sunday. He had 12 rebounds but only six assists, ending the NBA’s longest triple-double run since Michael Jordan had seven straight in 1989.
