Westbrook records league-leading 34th triple-double

Tom Szczerbowski / USA TODAY Sports

Russell Westbrook continues to inch closer to Oscar Robertson's 55-year-old feat.

With his 34th triple-double of the season in Thursday's victory over the Toronto Raptors, the Thunder guard now sits just seven triple-doubles away from tying Robertson's single-season record of 41.

The 28-year-old dominated Toronto in just 27 minutes of action, collecting 24 points, 16 assists, and 10 rebounds in the 123-102 victory.

Despite not playing a single minute in the fourth quarter, Westbrook recorded more assists than the entire Raptors team, and threw what could go down as the assist of the year.

Westbrook has now recorded a triple-double in four straight contests, playing a key part in Oklahoma City's current four-game winning streak.
