Westbrook 1 rebound shy of 42nd triple-double
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Fans stood on their feet, urging Russell Westbrook to grab the one rebound needed to separate himself from Oscar Robertson and grab an NBA record that has stood for 55 years.
Westbrook heard them.
The final board eluded him.
Westbrook wound up scoring 45 points, handing out 10 assists and grabbing just nine rebounds in Oklahoma City’s 103-100 win over Memphis on Wednesday night.
Westbrook tied Robertson’s single-season mark of 41 triple-doubles Tuesday night.
