Stat line: 44 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 60.0 % shooting

Russell Westbrook had his eleventh straight triple-double in February, against the New Orleans Pelicans on the road, but the Thunder could not get the win. Anthony Davis did not play in the second half due to a shoulder injury but Julius Randle (33 pts, 11 reb) and Jrue Holiday (32 pts) carried the Pelicans home.

Inside the final minute of the game, the Thunder trailed by five and Westbrook attempted a three-pointer to cut the lead down to 2, but it was no good.

However, Westbrook was very efficient and had his season-best performance as he finished the game with 44 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists on an efficient 18-for-30 shooting. Even though he struggled from beyond the arc going 4-for-12, he was dominant in the paint and played with the intensity that he is known for.

Final Score: New Orleans Pelicans 131 - 122 Oklahoma City Thunder
