Russell Westbrook has been putting up a triple-double almost every night this season, but his performance Wednesday night against the Magic was probably his best one yet
The explosive point guard finished with 57 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in an overtime victory.
His play helped his team overcome what was at one moment in the game a 21-point deficit. The win also clinched Oklahoma City a playoff berth.
But in terms of history, this triple-double was pretty impressive, so let's break it down by the numbers
This stat has been highly publicized, but it's pretty remarkable. Westbrook scored 57 points in his triple-double, which is the highest number of points scored in a triple-double in NBA history.
The previous record was 53 set by James Harden and Hall-of-Famer Wilt Chamberlain.
The Thunder rallied from being down 21 points in the third quarter, and it wouldn't have been possible without Westbrook
Yes he scored 57 total points, but he scored 19 of those with 7:45 remaining in the fourth quarter.
He could not be stopped as he drove to the basket and what seemed like every possession, and scored more often than not.
