The Portland Trail Blazers (38 - 19) beat the Oklahoma City Thunder (32 - 27) 115 - 112 on Friday. In a game of amazing performances, the Trail Blazers were led by LaMarcus Aldridge with 29 points, 16 rebounds, five assists one steal and one block. He got into a small spat with Serge Ibaka late in the fourth quarter and a double - technical was handed out. Damian Lillard had 29 points of his own on 10 - of - 22 shooting. Newly acquired guard Arron Afflalo came off the bench and scored 18 points. Portland outscored the Thunder by 14 in the fourth to win a tough game that came down to the wire and may go down as one of the most entertaining games of the season. The Blazers own the fourth best record in the Western Conference. Russell Westbrook became the first player since LeBron James to record three triple - doubles in a row. Westbrook had one of the best performances by any player this season. He finished with 40 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. In February he is averaging an Oscar Robertson-esque 30 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds a game. Mitch McGary came off the bench and put up 20 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes. The Thunder were without Enes Kanter (thigh). Nick Collison started in his place and played 12 minutes and scored six points with three rebounds. After a rough start to the season, Oklahoma City is currently in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference standings. The Thunder will head to Los Angeles to face the Lakers on Sunday, as the Trail Blazers will travel to Sacramento for a matchup with the Kings.
