Wearing a protective mask. OKC Thunder point guard and western conference player of the month for February Russell Westbrook returned to action against the Sixers and kept things rolling. Racking up his 4th straight triple-double in a win, posting 49 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.
“He’s playing incredible,” said Thunder forward Nick Collison. “We don’t want to take it for granted. But we expect him to play well. We know what he’s capable of. He’s just so engaged and he’s so into the game. He’s competing in every phase so the numbers come with that. But he’s in a great rhythm right now and he’s got a great approach to the game. He’s coming in ready to play each night. And we need it.”
Westbrook joins Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Maurice Stokes as the only players to record four triple-doubles in a row.
