Russell Westbrook has now had a 25-point, 10-assist game with all five teams he’s played for in his career (Thunder, Rockets, Wizards, Lakers and Clippers).
That ties most in NBA history, joining Sam Cassell, Jarrett Jack, John Lucas, Andre Miller, Chris Paul per @ESPNStatsInfo – 2:42 AM

What a riddle Westbrook is. 27 points, 10 assists tonight but 5 TOs and coincidence or not, Clippers 0-5 with him. Shooting 30 percent on threes. Ultimately, no real difference maker in this buyout market, as is usually the case – 1:00 AM

The Clippers could really use the momentum of a win right now. Obviously, the noise of starting 0-4 with Westbrook wouldn’t be helpful.
But in the grand scheme of things… the Clippers probably want to help the Warriors sneak up to No. 5 so they can avoid the Suns in Round 1. – 10:13 PM

Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did it three times. Elgin Baylor and Jerry West did it twice. All 20 other duos have done it once. – 10:02 PM
