Russell Westbrook took matters into his own hands Sunday, leading the Thunder to a 90-87 home win over the Spurs.

Oklahoma City (10-12) was in desperate need of a win, and Westbrook recorded his seventh triple-double of the season by scoring 22 points with 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Carmelo Anthony and Paul George, the other two members of Oklahoma City's new "big three," struggled, as they have most of the season. Anthony scored just nine points on 4 of 10 shooting, while George added eight points on a dreadful 2 of 17 shooting night.

Dejounte Murray led the Spurs with 17 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and three steals. Tony Parker and LaMarcus Aldridge both rested for the Thunder game, so it was up to Murray, a second-year pro, to step up.

With Kawhi Leonard also still out, San Antonio put an unheralded lineup on the floor Sunday, giving heavy minutes to players normally cemented to the bench. But Gregg Popovich got the most out of his team, almost stealing a victory.

Stud of the Night:

Stephen Curry led the Warriors to a 123-95 win over the Heat by pouring in 30 points on 11 of 16 shooting (5 of 9 from 3-point range). It was Curry's fourth 30-plus point game since the start of November.
Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 34 points on 13 of 19 shooting with 12 rebounds and three assists in a 105-100 win over the Knicks. The point total was Vucevic's highest since he dropped 41 in the second game of the season.

Dud of the Night:

Clippers starting small forward Wesley Johnson scored just two points on 1 of 10 shooting in 34 minutes of action in a 112-106 loss to the Timberwolves. Johnson also had four turnovers, while missing all three of his 3-point attempts. Los Angeles has now lost 12 of its last 15 games.

Highlight:
