Once upon a time, there were three budding superstars on the Thunder. Two of them have since moved on, but the one they kept is pretty darn good.
Russell Westbrook came out on top of his matchup against former teammate James Harden and the Rockets, throwing down an emphatic left-handed dunk over Clint Capela in the final seconds that stood as the game-winner in a 105-103 victory.

Westbrook scored 30 points, slightly below his season average, and added nine assists as the Thunder ended a four-game skid to improve to 7-5 on the season.
OKC teammate Steven Adams was obviously impressed.

"He's amphibious," Adams said after the game. "That was amazing."
Harden, who came in leading the league in assists, finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Rockets on 4-of-16 shooting.

"This league is filled with talent," Harden told reporters before the game. "Every night you've got stars, you got superstars that you've got to compete with. They're great at doing what they do and so are we."

Harden was right, but on Wednesday night his old teammate got the better of him.
Stud of the Night
Stephen Curry put up big numbers, scoring 35 points without making a ton of treys. He hit just three of his nine attempts from the 3-point line, but got to the free throw line 13 times, making all but one as the Warriors beat the Raptors 127-121.
Dud of the Night
Harden had 13 assists, but clearly the 13 points he scored weren't enough as the Rockets fell to the Thunder thanks to Westbrook's last-second heroics. He also turned the ball over six times.
Tweet of the Night
Kristaps Porzingis messed around and set a career-high point total, scoring 35 against the Pistons and having a lot of fun doing it.

Looking ahead
Knicks (5-6) at Wizards (2-8), 7 p.m. ET — Neither team is lighting it up early in the year, but the Knicks have a shot at getting to .500 if they can beat the struggling Wizards, who failed to keep up with the lowly 76ers on Wednesday, losing 109-102.
