Russell Westbrook made two free throws with one second left in overtime to finish with 36 points as the host Washington Wizards defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 117-115 on Friday night.
Westbrook, who had 10 of the Wizards’ 12 points in overtime and assisted on the other basket, finished with 15 rebounds and one assist short of what would have been his seventh consecutive triple-double.
The score was tied when Raul Neto stole the ball from the Pelicans’ Zion Williamson with 15.5 seconds left in overtime, leading to Williamson’s foul on Westbrook. New Orleans’ challenge to the call was unsuccessful and Williamson fouled out on the play.
