Russell Westbrook has been going off since returning from his latest knee injury, averaging 22.3 points and 6.8 assists since February 20th. This past Friday Westbrook put up a solid 24-5-7 line in OKC’s 116-94 win over the Pelicans, including one monster block on Alexis Ajinca, New Orleans’ 7-foot-2 center.
Not bad for a guy listed at 6-foot-3. Westbrook’s playing with a serious chip on his shoulder as the playoffs approach, which is very bad news for the entire Western Conference.
