Russell Westbrook posted a sixth straight triple-double Monday night in Atlanta. The NBA hasn’t seen such a streak since Michael Jordan ripped off seven in a row late during the 1988-89 season.
Coincidentally, the Oklahoma City Thunder have won six straight games. With Monday night’s victory, the Thunder are now 9-2 this season when Westbrook posts a triple-double.
While he has accumulated 11 such feats, the rest of the NBA has 12 combined.
Does the Thunder’s success rest solely in Westbrook’s hands? That’s not the case according to his coach and teammates.
