Russ is on triple double watch (14-10-8). If he gets it, he'll officially have a triple double against every single NBA team.

19-point swing for the Rockets and the Thunder trail 80-91 at the end of the third. Offense fell apart and the Thunder were just careless with the basketball. Regroup and refocus.

Darius Bazley is returning trash talk to Russell Westbrook. This kid continues to impress.

Lol Russ gets a tech for talking trash to the rookie. That's just a rite of passage.

PJ Tucker 3-pointer gives the Rockets the lead. Thunder just need to take care of the basketball and bring back the same defensive energy as the first half.

Terrance Ferguson and Hamidou Diallo are playing some great D against James Harden.

Not following for all his crafty moves and jukes, standing down, staying vertical, but cutting off the driving lane. Encouraging from the two young Thunder players.

Andre Roberson is out tonight, per Billy Donovan. He'll have to wait until January to guard Russ ☹️
