LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder were named NBA Players of the Month for February in the Eastern and Western Conference, respectively.
The same pair won the monthly award for November. The Cavs were 9-1 with James in the lineup during February, with The King averaging just under 26 points per game to go with 10.6 assists and 7.2 rebounds.
Westbrook statistically had his best month of the season in February, averaging 33.4 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. He's still averaging a triple-double for the season, and looks to become the first player since Oscar Robertson to do so over the course of a full campaign.
