After a day off for Thanksgiving, it was back to work for the NBA. There were a number of great games on the schedule for Friday (Nov. 24). Here are five players who came up big in victories for their respective squads.
Russell Westbrook - Oklahoma City Thunder
Paul George was picking up the slack for OKC while Westbrook was out of action. With Westbrook back, the team now has a powerful 1-2 punch. On Friday night, Westbrook's near triple-double of 30 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists helped OKC defeat the Hornets.

Andre Drummond - Detroit Pistons
The Pistons donned their "Motor City" jerseys for a battle with the Houston Rockets. While Blake Griffin and James Harden had a duel of their own, Andre Drummond came up huge. The big man had 23 points and 20 rebounds in a 116-111 win!
