Russell Westbrook did everything in his power to drag the banged-up Oklahoma City Thunder to the playoffs for a sixth straight season.
Eleven triple-doubles, 16 technical fouls and one scoring title were not enough in the rugged Western Conference. And now the Thunder are headed for the same place the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves are - the NBA's draft lottery.
Westbrook went out with a bang, scoring 37 points in Oklahoma City's 138-113 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night that was rendered moot by New Orleans' playoff clinching win over San Antonio.
