Steven Adams stared for the Oklahoma City Thunder as they beat the Miami Heat 106-94, but it was Russell Westbrook who stole the show, grabbing his 15th triple-double of the season.
Adams scored 15 points, eight rebounds and two blocks during the win, running the pick-and-roll with Westbrook to perfection. One of the plays led to a superb dunk on Miami centre Hassan Whiteside.
Meanwhile, Westbrook finished with 29 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists and was two rebounds shy of his triple-double at halftime. Enes Kanter chipped in, with 19 points off the bench.
Along with picking up his 15th triple-double of the season, Westbrook became the sixth player to post a triple-double on the Miami Heat in their 29 years as a NBA franchise.
For Miami, guard Josh Richardson tied his career high with 22 points, while James Johnson and Tyler Johnson added 16 and 15 respectively.
The Thunder led for the majority of the game, leading 33-18 after the first quarter and by 18 heading into the fourth quarter.
It was the Thunder's fifth win in their last six games and they hope to carry that form into their next match against the Memphis Grizzlies.
