Draymond becomes Warriors' all-time leader in triple-doubles
The Golden State Warriors' franchise leader in career triple-doubles is Draymond Green, and now only Green.
Thursday night in a 124-114 victory over the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center, Green moved past Basketball Hall of Famer Tom Gola for sole possession of the most triple-doubles in Warriors history with his 21st.
Green scored 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting, grabbed 14 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists for his second triple-double of the 2017-18 campaign.
The Warriors are now 21-0 whenever Green records a triple-double, which is the second-most consecutive wins under such circumstances in history, with Magic Johnson's 24-0 record with the Los Angeles Lakers the only mark that's better.
