By Sammer Kumar, WTOP10-TV
Russell Westbrook dropped 27 points, grabbed 18 rebounds, and dished out 14 assists to help Oklahoma City (11-8) snap New York’s (8-9) six-game winning streak at home. The former UCLA guard is now averaging a triple-double this season with averages of 30.9 PPG, 11.3 APG, and 10.3 RPG.
The only player to average a triple-double for an entire season is Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson, who did it for the Cincinnati Royals in the 1961-62 season.
Enes Kanter (27 points and 10 rebounds) and Steven Adams (14 points and 10 boards) both had double-doubles for the Thunder.
Derrick Rose had a game-high 30 points for New York on 10-20 shooting from the field. That was the former MVP’s first 30+ point game as a member of the Knicks. Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony added 21 and 18 points, respectively.
The Knicks will head to Minnesota on Wednesday to take on the Timberwolves at 8 P.M.

Family Weekend at SUNY Oswego
Oswego, NY — With many Oswego students coming to Oswego from different parts of New York and other states, events like Friends and Family Weekend are a good way for residents to have their home come to them, and for their families to see their home away from home.
As a celebrated tradition at SUNY Oswego, students are able to reunite with loved ones, and show them what the Oswego community has to offer.
For some students, it is an exciting way to show their family the accomplishments they’ve made so far. Students Anyissel Hernandez and Breanna Walker have done exactly that.
“I really miss them so when they come here I feel like supported and everything. Like it’s just nice to see them, hang out with them, just to see how I’m doing,” said Hernandez.
As for the family and friends, it’s a good way to see how their student has settled in to SUNY Oswego, as well as becoming familiar with the campus and town.
One family, the Minor, Callender, and Hechanova family, a blended family from New York City were excited to see some Oswego favorites.
“We checked out the lake, the barbershop, yeah. Walmart,” said the family.
One of the activities for the weekend, the Oswego Men’s Hockey Exhibition Game against Nazareth.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, we are going to check the hockey game out,” the family said.
A two-decade tradition, Friends and Family Weekend opens up opportunities not only for students, but for those who are unfamiliar with the town of Oswego.
Between learning about Oswego staples and the exciting hockey games, for one weekend, the Oswego communities grows just a little bit bigger.
“Go Lakers!”

Oswego Campus Adapts to Laker Print
SUNY Oswego students who frequently print their essays 15 minutes before their 8 a.m. class, can rejoice. A faster system used to print documents called “Laker print” has been introduced on campus just in time for the spring semester.
Laker print is designed to be a more efficient way to print documents on campus by cutting back on waste caused by banner pages and forgotten documents. The system allows students to upload their documents by either email or direct file upload. Students can then print out their documents at any laker print station on campus within 48 hours.
“It’s awesome!” says Oswego student Leo Karr. “The website is convenient because you can prep everything by uploading it to the website. Then you can just go to the printer station.”
While some students have embraced the change to laker print, others are not quite used to it yet.
“I have to go to one computer to have it sent to laker print, then I have to go to another computer to open laker print and print it out,” says Oswego student Stephanie Phipps, “so it’s kind of annoying.”
While there is a difference of opinion about Laker print, CTS Chief of Technology Officer Sean Moriarity says the transition has been nothing but smooth.
“I give tremendous credit to our client’s services team.” says Moriarity. “They really made it a focus to make sure that is we introduced (Laker print) to students, it would go as smoothly as possible.”
