Westbrook scores 40 as Thunder tie Spurs 2-2

Russell Westbrook had 40 points, 10 assists and five steals in a 105-92 victory over the San Antonio Spurs that tied the series at two games apiece.

It matched the second-highest playoff point total of Westbrook's career, falling short of the 43 he scored in the 2012 NBA Finals. He also joined Michael Jordan, who accomplished the feat in 1989, as the only two players with at least 40 points, 10 assists and five steals in a playoff game, according to ESPN Stats.

In the midst of posting a monster game, Westbrook allowed Kevin Durant to still score 31 points. It was Durant's highest-scoring game of the series after the NBA's leading scorer was held to a 22.7-point average in the first three games.

Boris Diaw had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Tony Parker added 14 points for the Spurs, who blew a 2-0 lead against the Thunder in this round two years ago and are in danger of doing it again.
