With Saturday’s win, the Thunder improved to 3-3 on the season. Westbrook has only played for one team in his NBA career: OKC.
Last season, Westbrook was the second player in league history to average a triple-double per game over the course of an entire season when he put up 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists per game. The 28-year old broke the record for most total triple-doubles in a season (42) last year.
This year, Westbrook is averaging 22.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 12 assists per game.
