All eyes were going to be on Oklahoma City Thunder PG Russell Westbrook entering Wednesday night’s game at STAPLES Center. After all, the triple-double machine was averaging a league-leading 38.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 11.7 assists through the first three games of this season.
Westbrook fell short of all of those averages against the Clippers, totaling “only” 35 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Westbrook didn’t get a triple-double, but he had a double-double with 10 turnovers. And Westbrook was the only player to reach double figures scoring for the Thunder in a game that saw Oklahoma score only 85 points on 84 shots.
