Russell Westbrook’s assault on all things triple double has led to some developments falling through the cracks – concerning Russell Westbrook.
The triple double saga has overshadowed some remarkable feats by Westbrook this season. Starting with this. Westbrook almost surely is going to win the NBA scoring title. Westbrook leads James Harden, 31.6-29.2, in points per game.
If Westbrook goes scoreless in each of OKC’s final five games, Harden could catch him for the scoring title by averaging 37.8 points a game.
If Westbrook averages a pedestrian 15 points a game down the stretch – he’s scored under 20 points only eight times all season – Harden would have to average 46.
