76ers vs. Thunder - Game Recap - March 22, 2017 - ESPN
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Add another first for Russell Westbrook -- a triple-double without missing a shot.
Westbrook recorded his 35th triple-double of the season with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists and the Oklahoma City Thunder cruised to a 122-97 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
He did so while making all six of his field-goal attempts and all six of his free throws. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no NBA player previously has had a triple-double without missing a shot attempt or free throw.
Westbrook's perfect shooting night could partially be attributed to a conscious decision to not shoot a 3-pointer in a game for the first time since March 14, 2016. He said he wasn't aware during the game that he hadn't missed a shot.
