We had seven games around the NBA on Saturday, with no shortage of standout performances headlined by Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid.
We've got you covered with all the final scores, stats, highlights and top fantasy performers from each game below.
Washington Wizards 133, Indiana Pacers 132 [OT]
What a performance for Russell Westbrook.
On the night he tied Oscar Robertson's all-time triple-double record, bringing up No. 181 of his career, he came up with two huge plays in overtime, draining a pair of free throws with 1.0 second remaining and followed it up by blocking Caris LeVert's 3-point attempt to ice the win.
He finished with 33 points, 19 rebounds, and 15 assists, while Bradley Beal, who sat out the overtime period with an ankle injury, poured in 50 points on 19-of-31 shooting.
