Westbrook posted impressive numbers yet again, but for fans of the former MVP, they all know pulling off a triple-double has become more of the norm for him. In fact, he's averaging a triple-double for the fourth time in his illustrious career. In just his first season with the Wizards, the former UCLA standout has already set the team record for most triple-doubles with 16, eclipsing Darrell Walker.

Westbrook's performance on Monday was special not just because they got the win, but also because it boosted the fans' morale that there's still something to look out for amid a disappointing season. The Wizards won back-to-back games for the first time since the end of February, improving their record to 17-28.

The Wizards still have hope to make the postseason or even just the play-in tournament. But for that to happen, Russell Westbrook may have to put up more monster performances.
