Russell Westbrook's streak of seven straight triple-doubles may have ended Sunday against the Boston Celtics, but the Oklahoma City Thunder guard was as mesmerizing as ever, particularly in the game's deciding moments.
After Westbrook scored the go-ahead bucket with an acrobatic layup, a freakish, near-defensive rebound on the other end resulted in a jump ball between Westbrook and Avery Bradley. The result of that jump, which essentially sealed the comeback victory for OKC, was never in doubt.
