Russell Westbrook recorded his fifth triple-double of the season Sunday night—the rest of the NBA has five combined—but it still wasn’t enough.
The visiting Indiana Pacers handed the OKC Thunder a 115-111 loss.
Despite 31 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, Russ was highly critical of his own play.
Russell Westbrook on the loss to the Pacers: "I was s****y tonight honestly. I could have done a lot of things better."

Per the AP:
Indiana coach Nate McMillan wrote an instruction on the white board in the Pacers’ locker room Sunday: “Scrap.”
Jeff Teague did just that, scoring eight of his 30 points in overtime, harassing Russell Westbrook defensively all night and lifting the short-handed Pacers to a 115-111 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It was Indiana’s first road victory of the season and it came without star forward Paul George, who missed his second straight game with a sore left ankle.
