The 10 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: A Point Guard Explosion

2. Russell Westbrook vs. Memphis Grizzlies

With his multitude of triple-double games, we're used to see Russell Westbrook on this list. However, this performance came in the most unlikeliest of matchup. Absent Enes Kanter and up against the tough defense of the Grizzlies, Westbrook once again showed his greatness Friday night.

Per usual, Westbrook tallied a triple-double, with 38 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists across 37 minutes. It took 20 shot attempts and 36.2% of his team's possessions, but Westbrook maintained efficiency in his big night. He had 5 turnovers but still managed an offensive rating of 149.7.

Westbrook was even better on the defensive end. Against Mike Conley and company, Brodie held them to 100.4 points per 100 possessions and committed 3 thefts in the game. Westbrook's overall contributions constituted a 71.30 nERD and a 12-point home victory for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
