Russell Westbrook's Best Play From Every Game of the 2017-2018 NBA Season | AVERAGED A TRIPLE DOUBLE

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Boston Celtics Showdown

OKC Russell Westbrook - Celtics Marcus Smart

Sunday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena the Oklahoma City Thunder (6-4) took the floor against the Boston Celtics (5-4) in a dramatic game, which ended in a Celtics win 100-85 over the Thunder.

All-Star Russell Westbrook was defended by guard Marcus Smart as he forced Westbrook into a rough outing shooting the rock, only connection on just 5-20 from the field, with the majority of his 27 points coming at the charity stripe (15-of-17).

Beside Westbrook's rough shooting night, he still was showing why he is an All-Star with a few highlights. One coming early in the game as he dropped Celtics guard Isiah Thomas like a bad habit. The other came on the defensive end, as he pinned Smart's layup attempt off the backboard.

Smart was not going to accept that as he already was having a great night guarding Westbrook, as he showed his own blocking attributes, chasing down Thunder guard D.J. Augustin.

Russell Westbrook also had some loving words for Smart and his performance in a post game interview!

Despite Westbrook's words for Smart he had impressive numbers.

Hoston Rockets - Not So Bad Harden

The Houston Rockets have overcame their 'bad' start to the season with a slim victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night at the Toyota Center.

James Harden led his team with 37 points, quieting the critics with his performance, shooting 12-of-26 from the field, including 4-of-12 from behind the arc, and 9-of-11 from the free throw line. Harden also contributed with five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in 38 minutes of action. 

Harden was assisted from his new fellow backcourt teammate Ty Lawson, who recently joined the Rockets this past offseason. Lawson Finished the game with his first double-double on the year, scoring 14 points and delivering 11 assists. 

Dwight Howard put the game away at the free throw line, after Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook missed their 3-point attempts during the fourth quarter with less than 44 seconds to go in the game. 

Durant and Westbrook continue to prove they are a dynamic duo, as Durant scored a team-high 29 points, while Westbrook barley missed a triple-double of 25 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds.

The Rockets will take on Victor Oladipo and the Orlando Magic Wednesday, Nov. 4 at home. The Magic have been playing exceptionally well this season, showing they are a force to be reckoned with, including a loss to the Thunder, but forcing double overtime.
