The Oklahoma City Thunder may not be winning pretty, but they’re winning nonetheless. And Russell Westbrook is already beginning to post some outrageous stat lines.

Against the Phoenix Suns, Russ dropped 51 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 10 assists. Problem is, he took 44 shots. Not the greatest of efficiency but it might be the type of games that the Thunder will need in order to win.

OKC plays the Warriors – and Kevin Durant – later this week. That should be must-see TV.
