Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook has been named the Western Conference Player of the Week, the NBA announced Monday afternoon.
In three games, Westbrook averaged 22 points, 17 assists and 12.7 rebounds to lead the Thunder to a 3-0 record with wins over the Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Of course, Westbrook recorded the second 20-20-20 game in NBA history last week, in a win against the Lakers with at least 20 apiece in points, rebounds and assists. Specifically, Westbrook recorded 20 points, 20 rebounds and 21 assists.
The Player of the Week award for Westbrook is his second of the season. He earned it on Nov. 5 for games played Oct. 29 to Nov. 4, during which he averaged 28 points per game.
His performances last week helped clinch a third consecutive season averaging a triple-double after he locked it up Friday night against the Pistons.
