Westbrook breaks Robertson's NBA triple-double record

Oscar Robertson's NBA record of 181 triple-doubles had stood since 1974 and was once thought to be untouchable — until Russell Westbrook surpassing it became inevitable. Westbrook got it done Monday night, hardly a surprise given that he's averaging a triple-double this season and this was his 36th, including seven in his last eight games. “I normally don't like to pat myself on the back but tonight I will just because I'm so grateful for the ones before me and so blessed to the man above to allow me to go out and do it," Westbrook said.
