It turns out there is one way to slow down the triple-double machine that has been Russell Westbrook lately. But it took a ruling by the NBA office to do it.
A video review of the game resulted in the league subtracting one rebound from Westbrook’s total from Sunday’s win over Miami, thus wiping out what would have been the Oklahoma City All-Star’s 10th triple-double of the season.
The league said that Westbrook was incorrectly credited with a rebound in the 93-75 victory. The correction means the Thunder point guard finished with 12 points, 17 assists and nine rebounds.
Westbrook now has nine triple-doubles on the season for an Oklahoma City team that at 40-30 entered Monday night with a 2½-game lead for the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoff picture.
