Russell Westbrook put in another stunning all-round display as he recorded a triple-double during the Oklahoma City Thunder's victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night.
The former MVP finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists as the Thunder remained in contention for the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
Westbrook's performance crowned a historic week during which he recorded a 20-20-20 game and ensured he will average a triple-double for a third straight season.
After forcing his way into the paint early, Westbrook began to lay the table for his team-mates, repeatedly setting up center Steven Adams.
He saved the best until last though, hitting two late buckets, including a pull-up jump-shot on which he was fouled, to ice the game as the Thunder sealed a 132-126 victory.
It was a 136th career triple-double for Westbrook, who is just two behind Magic Johnson for second all-time in the category.
