“I didn’t know that he broke another record tonight. He continues to break records,” Kings coach Doug Christie said postgame. “Russ is a freak of nature. His competitiveness, his competitive drive, his spirit to continue to play as hard as he does, I think this is year 18 or whatever it is. Always been a fan of his and it’s an absolute honor to coach him.”
This just adds to Westbrook’s Hall of Fame resume, which includes an NBA MVP, two-time scoring champion, and nine-time All-NBA and All-Star. He is a first ballot HOF lock.
As for Friday night, Westbrook finished with 17 points and teammate Keegan Murray had 23 for Sacramento, but it was not near enough on a night Devin Booker had 33 to lead the Suns to a comfortable 129-102 victory.
