Nick Gallo (okcthunder.com) recaps last night’s win over the Lakers: “Russell Westbrook always plays with speed. The exact variety varies. Some games it’s a foot mashed down on the accelerator. Others it’s stop and start bursts of explosion. Tonight, Westbrook seemingly glided across the floor, moving quickly but in complete balance and control. That curated combination served a dominant effort and was the recipe for not only a much-needed 119-103 Thunder win over the Los Angeles Lakers but also a historic night for the All-Star point guard. By dishing out a Thunder record-tying 10 first quarter assists to get his team going, Westbrook picked up his own scoring in the second half and continued to attack the glass in a 20-point, 20-rebound and 21-assist performance, becoming the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to compile such a stat line.
