Westbrook has 45 and Kevin 40 plus 17 Rebounds.
Amazing.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3468/russell-westbrook) scored 45 points, Kevin Durant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3202/kevin-durant) added 40 points and a season-high 17 rebounds and the Oklahoma City Thunder (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=okc) overcame a career-high 51 points from Minnesota All-Star Kevin Love (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3449/kevin-love) to beat the Timberwolves 149-140 in double overtime Friday night.
Westbrook set the tone in the second overtime, stealing the ball on Minnesota's opening possession and racing to the other end for a layup that resulted in a three-point play.
The Thunder never trailed in the period and put it away with nine straight points after Nick Collison (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1978/nick-collison) blocked Love's shot that would have tied it at 140.
Love, who beat Durant in the 3-Point Contest on All-Star weekend, made a career-high seven 3s and also pulled down 14 rebounds while becoming the third player to eclipse 50 points this season.
