Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook returned to action with authority Wednesday night against Philadelphia, going coast-to-coast in the first quarter and finishing with this monster two-handed slam dunk.
Westbrook took the inbounds pass, outran the Sixers defense and threw it down hard.
Despite not playing in the last game while recovering from a fractured cheekbone, Westbrook earned his fourth consecutive triple double (49 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists) as the Thunder beat the Sixers in overtime. Westbrook is the first player to earn four triple-doubles in an NBA season since Michael Jordan back in 1988-89.
