Westbrook records 5th career playoff triple-double

Russell Westbrook's historic season of triple-doubles now includes a playoff performance to add to the tally.

After a regular season that saw Westbrook record more triple-doubles - 18 - than anyone since Magic Johnson 34 years ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard recorded his first triple-dub of the postseason, pouring in 36 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds, and four steals in a Game 4 win over the Golden State Warriors.

It's the fifth playoff triple-double for Westbrook, who joins Larry Bird, James Worthy, Charles Barkley, Gary Payton, and LeBron James as the only players since 1984 to post 35-10-10 games in the postseason.

The only players with more postseason triple-doubles since Westbrook entered the league eight years ago are James (12) and Rajon Rondo (10).

Westbrook, who shot 12-of-27 from the field and 4-of-8 from 3-point range, was a game-high plus-26 in 41 minutes of action.
