Russell Westbrook Joins Magic, Kidd, Big O with 100th Triple Double

Russell Westbrook entered the record books as the fourth player in NBA history to score 100 career triple-doubles, on Tuesday night, March 13.
Westbrook grabbed his 10th rebound late in a contest that the Oklahoma City Thunder would take from the Atlanta Hawks by a score of 119-107. He had already accumulated double digits in scoring and assists leading up to the moment and only needed the missed Taurean Prince three-pointer that he'd grab dow with 2:42 remaining - to reach the milestone.
Because OKC was playing before an away crowd at Philips Arena, the reception for Russ notching the accomplishment wasn't a grand one - but it did draw standing ovations from pockets of fans dispersed among the crowd. He'd go on to finish the game with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in the victory.
Westbrook now joins the exclusive company of Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson, and Oscar Robertson as the only players to have amassed triple-doubles in the triple digits, with him being 81 short of topping Robertson on the all-time list. At the pace, he's going, it won't be long before he does just that. He now sets his sights on surpassing Kidd for third place. He needs seven more to do it.
