Russell Westbrook sets triple-double record, but Wizards fall at Atlanta

He reached the milestone with 8:30 remaining in the fourth quarter with a rebound off a missed jumper from Atlanta’s Danilo Gallinari, after which the smattered cheers turned into a full-throated chant — “Westbrook, Westbrook!” — and a round of applause from an arena full of fans celebrating pure greatness, team affiliation be damned. It followed another landmark early in the first quarter, when Westbrook, 32, joined Robertson, LeBron James and Gary Payton as one of four players in NBA history with at least 20,000 points and 8,000 assists.
