Houston Rockets’ Russell Westbrook continued to write his name in the history books on Monday. Westbrook posted a triple-double against his former team Oklahoma City Thunder, which means that he now has one against every team in the NBA.
Westbrook finished the game against OKC with 32 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds, joining LeBron James as the only other player with this achievement. The All-Star point guard, however, didn’t manage to complement this with a win.
Rockets had a comfortable 17-points lead after the third quarter, holding the Thunder to just 14 points in the period. They, however, allowed 41 points in the fourth and allowed Oklahoma City to steal the 112-107 win.
“Honestly I thought we played a pretty good game,” said Westbrook after the game. “We played a good game for the most part. Obviously the last six minutes we didn’t play our best basketball, but I thought we had pretty much control of the game. There’s some good to take out of this game, and we’ll look at the film to figure it out and move forward.”
Following this defeat, Houston Rockets now find themselves on a four-game losing streak. They sit on the sixth place in the West with a 26-16 record, and 7.5 games behind the first seeded Los Angeles Lakers.
