There’s no masking Russell Westbrook’s crazy stats

SHARE There’s no masking Russell Westbrook’s crazy stats

How crazy has Russell Westbrook’s run on the stat book been? In between recording his third and fourth consecutive triple-doubles, the Thunder guard had surgery on his face.

On Friday, Westbrook had 40 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists and one broken cheek bone in a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. After surgery on Saturday, he missed Sunday’s game against the Lakers.

Donning a face mask, Westbrook returned Wednesday night with some more super-hero numbers: 49 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists. Since the All-Star break, Westbrook is averaging 33.7 points, 10.6 rebounds and 11.2 assists. The numbers have put the seven-year veteran in elite company.

But for three rebounds, Jordan’s seven-game run could have been 11.
