Russell Westbrook's eighth triple - double of the season may have been his most impressive given the sheer dominance on the offensive end of the floor that was displayed by the Thunder point guard. Oklahoma City had to stave off the New York Knicks, especially down the stretch, but Westbrook's command was truly spectacular, as evidenced by his final stat line of 27 points, 18 rebounds and 14 assists and two steals on 9 - of - 23 shooting in 36 minutes. With the 18 rebounds, Westbrook officially raised his season average to a triple - double. The MVP candidate entering the season re - tied LeBron James with 45 triple - doubles throughout his career. Former MVP Derrick Rose also contributed his best scoring performance in the loss after notching his first 30 point game in a Knicks uniform. The New York point guard added seven rebounds and four assists on 10 - of - 20 shooting.
