In this age of advanced stats and efficiency, Russell Westbrook’s performance last night should top the list. OKC cruised past the tanking Sixers quite easily, in a game where they didn’t really need Russ to log a lot of minutes. In fact, he only played 21 minutes. But that was enough for him to notch a triple-double to the tune of 13 points, 10 boards and 14 assists. That’s reportedly the second fastest triple-double in league history.
Westbrook added 13 points and 10 rebounds in just 20 minutes, giving him his second triple-double this season and the eighth of his career. According to The Elias Sports Bureau, it was the second-fewest minutes in which a player recorded a triple-double since 1955. That year, Jim Tucker of the then-Syracuse Nationals needed just 17 minutes to do it.
