LOS ANGELES, USA – Bradley Beal scored 25 points as the Washington Wizards thumped the Oklahoma City Thunder, 116-98, despite a triple-double from Russell Westbrook in the NBA on Sunday, January 6 (Monday, January 7, Manila time).
Otto Porter had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Jeff Green scored 16 points and Tomas Satoransky added 15 for the Wizards in the win.
“It has to be up there, there’s no question,” said Wizards coach Scott Brooks. “We battled. We played against one of the best teams in basketball. They’ve got a lot of talent. They’ve got three All-Stars on the floor and I think we battled them and did a lot of things well.”
Westbrook finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists for his 12th triple-double of the season and the 116th of his career.
