Russell Westbrook zipped the ball to Semaj Christon, the Thunder's not-so-sharpshooter swished a 3-pointer from the corner, and everyone went crazy.
The sellout crowd in Denver's Pepsi Center. Thunder voice Brian Davis. Thunder fans from Fort Supply to Fort Towson, watching at home all across Oklahoma. Heck, much of the basketball universe celebrated Westbrook's 42nd triple double of the season, which broke Oscar Robertson's single-season NBA record.
But not Westbrook. The man of the hour just slowly backpedaled with a stoic face.
Westbrook knew the stats. He always knows the stats. He knew he needed one more assist for a triple double, and he knew his pass to Christon was No.
