Russell, rookie reign in Thunder storm

Russell Westbrook's left-handed, inside-out dribble wrong-footed Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday, creating an open lane for a driving layup.

It was one of many scoring highlights for the Oklahoma City star, who sometimes looked like he could have outscored New Orleans all by himself on Wednesday night.

He didn't have to, thanks to a reserve unit led by rookie Alex Abrines that extended leads while Westbrook was resting on the bench as the Thunder beat the Pelicans 121-110.
