After a loooonnnnggg 3 days with no NBA games due to the All Star break, we finally got back to the good stuff. Now if you are a NBA fanatic like me, then the long break was killing you but we with two great games on last night we weren't disappointed. In the first game we got to see the NBA all star MVP Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant face off against the Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder are currently in a tight race to try and secure the final playoff spot in the west and are on their way to doing that with a big win last night 104-89. Durant who had has been battling a foot injury all season, finished with just 12 points, which ties his career low for points while playing 36 or more minutes. Meanwhile Russell Westbrook picked up right where he left off with a 34 point outburst to go along with 10 dimes
In the second game of the double header the Clippers faced off against last years NBA champions Spurs. In a game that saw a lot of fouls due to the spurs intentionally fouling DeAndre Jordan, who is a 45% free throw shooter, the Clippers outlasted the Spurs and won the game 119-115. Chris Paul led the way for the Clippers with 22 points and 16 dimes.

No doubt Russell Westbrook brings it every night, he's disciplined on both sides of the ball. He is the best point guard in the league by far!
