Candace Parker joined an elite class of WNBA stars on Sunday afternoon.

LaMelo Ball‘s status as the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double lasted 358 days.

Facing the Dallas Mavericks, Giddey posted 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds at the age of 19 years and 84 days, 56 days younger than Ball on his record night. Giddey’s contributions weren’t enough for the 13-23 Thunder to avoid a 95-86 loss, but he upheld the… Source link

Russell Westbrook has been on an absolute tear. He’s more than rallied after a slow start to the season, and broke a longstanding NBA record in the Washington Wizards‘ 146-143 loss to the San Antonio Spurs: Wilt Chamberlain’s record for triple-doubles in a single month, which has stood since 1968.  Chamberlain set the record with 11, but now Westbrook has 12. The Wizards have two more games scheduled in April, so that number could keep climbing.  Westbrook isn’t feeling the love, though. He… Source link

Russell Westbrook hasn’t been with the Washington Wizards long. Just 38 games, in fact. Yet on Monday night, Westbrook became the franchise’s all-time leader in triple-doubles. Westbrook put up 35 points, a season-high 21 assists and 14 rebounds in Washington’s 132-124 win against the Indiana Pacers at Capital One Arena — which marked his 16th of the season. Darrell Walker held the organization’s last record with 15 triple-doubles, something he did over 283 games between… Source link

Kevin Durant also seemed to enjoy playing with Harden, dropping 42 points with plenty of help from his current and former teammate. Harden waited until late in the first quarter to score his first Nets points, employing his signature… Source link
