Russell Westbrook’s triple-double streak ends in Thunder’s win
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.
Tim Frazier got his first career triple-double and New Orleans rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to beat host Phoenix in overtime, snapping a five-game losing streak.
The victory came despite a 4-for-17 shooting performance by NBA scoring leader Anthony Davis, who finished with 14 points, 16 below his average, but grabbed 12 rebounds.
Tyson Chandler added 14 points and 21 rebounds, both season highs.
Frazier, a third-year guard out of Penn State, had 14 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
Kristaps Porzingis had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Derrick Rose scored 25 in his return from injury and visiting New York held off Los Angeles.
Brandon Jennings scored 15 of his season high-tying 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Knicks won for the sixth time in seven game with a dynamic effort in the final minutes, capped by Rose’s jumper with 19.4 seconds left.
