Basketball News : Westbrook: I'm the best playmaker in the NBA

Reaction after the Washington Wizards clinched a spot in the NBA’s new play-in tournament for the playoffs by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-105 Friday (14 May). Russell Westbrook, who was honoured pregame for passing Oscar Robertson and becoming the NBA's career leader in triple doubles earlier in the week, had another with 21 points, 17 assists and 12 rebounds. It was the seventh game Westbrook had 15 or more assists, an accomplishment previously only achieved by Hall of Famers John Stockton and Isiah Thomas.
