The triple-double was once a somewhat rare occurrence but Russell Westbrook and Ben Simmons are making the feat look easy.
Westbrook tallied the 100th triple-double of his career Tuesday with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in a 119-107 Thunder win over the Hawks. He is now one of four players all time with 100 triple-doubles in his career, joining Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Jason Kidd.
As for Simmons, the rookie tied Johnson for the second most triple-doubles in a rookie season with seven. He now only trails Robertson for the most in an inaugural season (26).
However, Simmons' 10 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists weren't enough to help the 76ers overcome a solid effort from Myles Turner (25 points, six rebounds) and the Pacers in a 101-98 loss.
