Big O, make way for Brodie.
With his third-quarter assist to Bradley Beal, Wizards guard Russell Westbrook made history Saturday night against the Pacers by recording his 181st career triple-double—tying him with Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson for the most in NBA history.
It was the latest in what's been a triple-double tear for Westbrook, who's pulled off the feat in 21 of his last 25 games. He hasn't gone back-to-back games without a triple-double since late March. Washington has gone 16–8 in that span (excluding Saturday night's game)—including an eight-game winning streak in late April—to vaunt the Wiz into the NBA play-in tournament picture.
