The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook recorded his eighth straight triple-double last night in his team’s 117-95 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Westbrook passed Michael Jordan for second place on the triple-double streak list and can tie Wilt Chamberlain’s mark of nine straight games on Saturday when the Thunder take on the Houston Rockets.
