For Westbrook, it’s one for record books

Russell Westbrook became the second player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season, but failed for the second game in a row to break Oscar Robertson’s single-season record for most triple-doubles.

Westbrook fell two assists shy of what would have been his 42nd triple-double in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 120-99 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.

On a rough night all around, Westbrook had 23 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, along with eight turnovers before he was pulled with 2:34 to play.

Devin Booker scored 21 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter for the Suns, who ended a 13-game losing streak.
