Westbrook's triple-double deserves a huge asterisk, if not a review by the NBA. It came with less than 90 seconds remaining in the game, when Westbrook passed to Thabo Sefolosha in the left corner. Sefolosha battled with Willie Green for control of the ball, then drove past Green all the way to the basket for a layup. An assist is defined as a pass that leads directly to a basket. Saying Westbrook's pass led directly to Sefolosha's basket would be like saying "The Shot Heard Round the World" in 1775 led directly to the Vietnam War.

Another reason Scott Brooks should be gone(though for the sake of the Mavs and the WC I hope they keep him forever
). He routinely leaves his stars in to rack up stats in games well out of hand. Its like a high school coach puffing his players.
