Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George expressed his amazement at Russell Westbrook's monster triple-double in their win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
George took it to Instagram to express his reaction. He tagged Westbrook as an ‘incredible' player on his post while giving the recently departed rapper Nipsey Hussle a shout-out.

In their win over the Lakers, Russell Westbrook finished with 20 points, 20 rebounds and 21 assists. He became just the first player since the great Wilt Chamberlain to post a 20-20-20 game.
All in all, it's Westbrook's 31st triple-double of the season which ties him with Chamberlain for the third most triple-doubles in one season. For the year, he's averaging 23.0 points,11.0 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game this season. This is the third straight year that he’s averaging a triple-double.
Paul George himself had an all-around game, posting 19 points, six rebounds, five assists, five steals and one block. PG and Westbrook have formed one hell of a duo in Oklahoma City.
At first, the organization struggled to find another star after the departure of Kevin Durant. It forced Westbrook to carry the team all by himself and even snagged an MVP trophy. Now, after two seasons together, George and Westbrook have are slowly developing into a great tandem. Perhaps they need a season or two more before they can bring the Thunder back to its winning ways.
