Westbrook climbs ladder with 60th career triple-double
Russell Westbrook continues to climb up the record books after another stellar performance, this time against New Orleans

LOS ANGELES, US – Russell Westbrook notched the 60th triple-double of his career in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 114-105 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday, January 25 (Thursday morning, Manila time) to pass Larry Bird forth fifth place on the all-time list.

Westbrook posted 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to fuel the Thunder with his 23rd triple-double of the season and his second in 3 victories over the Pelicans this season.

Despite Westbrook’s effort – and another early injury exit for Pelicans star forward Anthony Davis – New Orleans challenged until the end.

Oklahoma City led by 22 points in the second half but withstood a 9-0 Pelicans scoring run in the fourth quarter that cut the deficit to 105-100 with 5:33 remaining.

Davis reinjured his right thigh late in the second quarter and finished with 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Guard E’Twaun Moore paced the Pelicans with 18 points. – Rappler.com
