He played just over 45 minutes and never slowed down.Youve got to want to win, he said. Very simple. When you want to win, you dont think about being tired. To me, being tired is a mind thing. Its in your mind. Youve got to go out there and compete at a high level and leave it on the floor.According to the Thunder, it was the first 50-point triple-double since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had one in 1975.
