The Thunder finished the regular season in victorious fashion on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City, riding a historic effort from Russell Westbrook to a 137-123 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Needing 16 rebounds to clinch a triple-double season average, Westbrook responded with 6 points, 20 rebounds, and 19 assists to make history for the second consecutive season. Paul George dropped a cool 40-piece on 8-of-14 shooting from downtown. Steven Adams chipped in 24 points and 7 rebounds.
Despite falling behind by six in the early minutes, it didn’t take long for the Thunder offense to get rolling. Oklahoma City scored 38 points in the first quarter, followed by 39 in the second, scoring a season-high 77 points on 67 percent shooting in the first half.
