The 5 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Russell Westbrook Edges Out the Nuggets

1. Russell Westbrook vs. Denver Nuggets

To say that Russell Westbrook has had quite a few triple-doubles this season would be an understatement. But, while there have been many, his triple-double effort -- 50 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists -- against the Denver Nuggets Sunday night had to be one of his best.

For the third time this season, Westbrook scored 50 points in a triple-double and did so on 17 of 32 shooting and a usage of 42.9%. He was also a perfect 11 for 11 from the line, equaling a 67.9% true shooting rate and a nERD of 71.88 in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 106-105 victory.
