Russell Westbrook Racks Up A Triple-Double
2 years agoLos Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook posted his second triple-double of the campaign Friday, completing a 126-108 win over Denver with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. He added two steals with four turnovers while shooting 5-for-13 from the field and 5-for-8 at the foul line. Both of Westbrook's triple-doubles have come across his last four appearances. The former MVP struggled massively at the start of the season, but moving him to the bench has worked out well for everybody involved, and even the trade talks have quieted down. Russ still hurts fantasy teams with his poor shooting and turnovers, but he makes up for it with his all-around ability. The veteran star could now even begin his best stretch of the season, as Anthony Davis (foot) went down in Friday's game and his absence should result in a usage boost for Westbrook.
