The league 's top two scorers had the chance to square off on Sunday , and they did not leave fans disappointed . For the Thunder , All-Star guard Russell Westbrook posted a line of 28 points , 17 rebounds , and 12 assists for his fifth consecutive triple - double . The streak is now Westbrook 's career - best and the longest by any player since Michael Jordan in 1989 . Westbrook recently became the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple - double heading into the month of December . Sunday 's performance marked Westbrook 's tenth triple - double in 21 games this season . Aside from Westbrook , bench big man Enes Kanter thrived for the Thunder on Sunday , scoring 17 points and pulling down 10 rebounds while shooting 7 - of - 13 . New Orleans big man Anthony Davis , meanwhile , expanded on his league - leading scoring average by pouring in 37 points against OKC . Davis added 15 rebounds , two steals , and four blocks . He saw little help from his teammates on Sunday , however . The rest of the Pelicans ' starting five combined for just 25 points , and the team shot only 37 percent in the game . The league 's top two scorers squared off in epic proportions on Sunday as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the visiting New Orleans Pelicans , 101 - 92 . The Thunder ( 13 - 8 ) now sit at five games above .500 and are narrowly trailing the Rockets and Grizzlies for the fourth - best record in the Western Conference . The bigger story from Sunday , however , was point guard Russell Westbrook 's fifth straight triple - double . Westbrook scored 28 points , had a whopping 17 rebounds , and dished out 12 assists . Westbrook 's streak of five games with a triple - double is the best of his career and the longest since Michael Jordan 's seven - game streak in 1989 . The All-Star 's effort helped to propel the Thunder to victory on Sunday , though solid perimeter defense advanced the team 's cause . The Pelicans were held to under 37 percent shooting from the field and 6 - of - 28 from three - point range . The Thunder offense , meanwhile , shot almost 47 percent on the night , with solid contributions from guard Victor Oladipo ( 15 points ) and bench big man Enes Kanter ( 17 points , 10 rebounds ) . For the Pelicans ( 7 - 14 ) , meanwhile , 37 points for league - leading scorer Anthony Davis was not enough to earn the win . In addition to the scoring output , Davis had 15 rebounds , two steals , and four blocks . The Pelicans struggled aside from Davis , however , as the rest of the starting five combined for just 25 points . The team also saw a rebounding deficit despite Davis 's strong performance on the boards , as the Thunder held a 59 - 51 advantage on the glass . The Thunder will visit the Atlanta Hawks on Monday , while the Pelicans will host the Memphis Grizzlies .
