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.

LaMarcus Aldridge - San Antonio Spurs
Gregg Popovich's Spurs also seem to find a way to win no matter who's on the floor. Luckily, he's still got the services of big man LaMarcus Aldridge. On Friday night, Aldridge had 33 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Spurs to a win at Indiana.
