OKLAHOMA, United States (AFP) — Oklahoma City star Russell Westbrook produced his 41st triple-double of the season on Monday to equal Oscar Robertson’s record for most in an NBA season.
Westbrook secured his 41st triple-double of the season in the third quarter of the Thunder’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Westbrook drained a three-pointer just before halftime to finish the first half with 12 points.
Minutes into the third period, he notched his 10th rebound then posted a 10th assist on Taj Gibson’s basket that put the Thunder up 67-42 on the Bucks.
Westbrook will have a chance to break the record on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.
