Watch Russell Westbrook hit the game-winner to complete a late comeback against Mavericks
The Mavericks led the Thunder by 13 points with 3:31 remaining on Monday, then Russell Westbrook took control, and everything changed. He scored 12 of his team's 14 points the rest of the way, and Dallas didn't score again.
The comeback was capped off by this game-winning 16-foot jumper, which Westbrook calmly knocked down with seven seconds left.

Westbrook finished the night with 37 points on 15-of-30 shooting, to go along with 13 rebounds and 10 assists. It was his 37th triple-double of the season, and the Thunder improved to 30-7 in those contests.
Doing all of this in Dallas had to be especially gratifying for Westbrook. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has said on multiple occasions that he doesn't believe Westbrook is a superstar, and that he doesn't belong in the MVP conversation.
Obviously, this performance showed otherwise.
