With a modest performance by his ridiculous standards, Russell Westbrook (13 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists in just 27 minutes) logged his 17th triple-double of the season, the most since Lakers legend Magic Johnson logged 17 in 1988-89:

With four games remaining in the regular season, Westbrook has four more cracks at tying -- or breaking -- Johnson's record of 18 triple-doubles, which he set in 1981-82:
