Now <em>That</em> Was A Russell Westbrook Game
If any player in the NBA can accurately be described as basketball cocaine, it's Russell Westbrook.

Russell Westbrook Needed Only 21 Minutes To Get A Triple-Double
Yes, it was against what is essentially a D-League team, but Russell Westbrook's 21-minute bludgeoning of the 76ers is worth being excited about. 13 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes isn't something that just happens to a guy coming off his second knee surgery of the year. 13 points...

Comebacks from a 3-0 deficit have been done in hockey, and in baseball, but never in the NBA.
