-

Russell Westbrook broke Oscar Robertson’s 47-year-old NBA record for tripledoub­les but missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer as the Wizards lost, 125-124, to the Hawks in Atlanta on Monday night.

Westbrook completed his 182nd tripledoub­le when he pulled down a rebound with 8:29 remaining as he finished with 28 points, 13 boards and 21 assists.

●In San Antonio, DeMar DeRozan’s 23 points led four Spurs with at least 20 as they handed the Bucks a 146-125 loss, sending Milwaukee to a full game back of the Nets for the No. 2 seed in the East.

●In San Francisco, Stephen Curry scored 36 points and the Warriors held off a late charge to beat the Jazz 119-116.

●The Celtics’ hopes for an NBA playoff run were dealt a huge blow as All-Star forward Jaylen Brown will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ligament in his left wrist.
