Westbrook had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the team to back-to-back victories, and Steven Adams had 19 points and 10 rebounds, but second-string scorer Paul George had just eight points on 2-of-17 field goals. ( sand357 )

Westbrook’s 7th triple-double of the season 

The Spurs have chosen to rest two mainstays, LaMarcus Aldridge and Tony Parker, with head coach Gregg Popovich citing the former as having a minor knee injury, while the Frenchman is old and has just recovered from an injury.
