Russell Westbrook extends NBA record triple-double streak to 11 games
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook recorded his 11th consecutive triple-double Thursday to extend the longest such streak in NBA history in a 131-122 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
On Monday night, Westbrook's triple-double against Portland extended his streak to 10 games, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's mark of nine straight set in 1968.
Westbrook finished with 44 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists in 39 minutes Thursday.
It was the 12th time in Westbrook's career in which he scored at least 40 points in a triple-double. That puts him in a tie for second place with Houston's James Harden for the most 40-point triple-doubles in NBA history, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Oscar Robertson has the record with 22.
