Here are the Highlights of that game
Russell Westbrook currently has the 2nd most Triple Doubles ever with 146 and he needs 36 more to overtake Oscar Robertson (181) for the first place.
Among active Players, he holds the first place in front of:
LeBron James (94)
James Harden (46)
Nikola Jokic (41)
Rajon Rondo (32)
Here is a list of players who had a triple-double in their career
Although it isn´t a rarety anymore to see a triple double in the NBA, I still think it is really impressive that Russell Westbrook basically had 2 in one game.
Other active Players with 1 Triple Double: Damian Lillard, JJ Barea, Derrick Rose, JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard.
Full Context:
The Lakers needed to expand the deal to create optimum salary cap space, and Pelinka executed the deal to completion with Washington's interim GM Tommy Sheppard and New Orleans EVP of Basketball Operations David Griffin over the past few days.
The Lakers are expected to pursue several scenarios in free agency, including Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell, who is a restricted free agent now -- and Toronto star Kawhi Leonard, league sources said. If the Lakers decide to break up the money, they're interested in several combinations of players including Toronto Raptors Danny Green, Orlando Magic Terrence Ross, Portland Trail Blazer Seth Curry and several other free agents with a strong shooting ability.

After 2 days, basketball is back and we don’t have to wait again after it because from here on out we have games every day
Here is the photo that Paul George posted on Instagram with Russell Westbrook after it was announced that he was re-signing with OKC on a four-year $137 million dollar max contract. He and Russell partied that night last summer.
This morning he has been traded (per request) to the Los Angeles Clippers to join Kawhi Leonard.
*Worth noting: Westbrook has unfollowed George on Instagram
Obviously, they're both excellent players in their own rights.
But who do you personally rate higher all-time between Kawhi and Westbrook?
Hey now... it's your boy djbillyfrazier, back once again with a bourbon review. Tonight we're going in on a store pick of Russell's Reserve Single Barrel from high-volume retailer Stew Leonard's. Let's check it out!
Specs: this is NAS, NCF 110pf Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from the good folks at Wild Turkey. This particular bottle doesn't have the barrel and bottle dates that have started to appear on more recent RR picks, but it does note that the barrel came from Warehouse F (for all you deep dive WT people). I bought this particular bottle in CT.
Settings: relaxing at home, making baked beans and watching the NBA (although sadly not my beloved Celtics). Consumed neat in a glencairn, rested 10 minutes before sampling.
Color: standard amber, a bit on the light side. Notably lighter than the old label RR SiB I have.
Nose: a little floral right off the bat, and then toasted sugar, cinnamon, and spice. Smells like WT alright, although a bit muted compared to some of the dusty stuff I've sampled recently. There's a certain aroma I get from many WT products but can't quite put my finger on... probably just the usual bourbon combo of oak, sweetness, vanilla, and spice, but WT seems to do it right. Not a fantastic nose but smells alluring for sure.
Palate: oak, spice and heat right off the bat. a little sweetness in the mid-palate but this is oak and spice forward for sure. A little bit like a spiced caramel or a hot toddy with a nice oak backbone... damn, this is pretty tasty.
Finish: cinnamon, graham crackers, toasted sugar, spice, honey, and a solid Kentucky hug. I never tire of this profile.
Rating: Solid 7 for this, perhaps a 7.5. I'd give the edge to the last bottle I reviewed (MMPS NJBYC pick) but probably because that was our group's first pick. The only thing to note on these RR picks is that they tend to be underwhelming to me on first pour, and then they get much better with air in the bottle. RR SiB has been a consistent favorite of mine for years, as I love the WT profile and 110pf is just about perfect for me. I've had some better and some worse than this bottle, but I've never had a bad RR SiB. Really, really good stuff.
Value: this was <$60, and at that price, it's no wonder I have more than a couple sealed bottles of this stuff sitting in my closet. Frankly, I want to buy it all over again every time I see it. There's certainly some fun in chasing down new releases, trying out different profiles
