Russell Westbrook: 40 points
  • Second 40-point game of his career (had 43 points on 11/26/10)
  • With Durant, just second game in NBA regular season since 1986-87 where teammates had 40+ points (2 other examples in postseason)
Serge Ibaka: 14 points, 15 rebounds, 11 blocks
  • First such game in NBA since Shawn Bradley had 22-22-13 on 4/7/98
