Russell Westbrook scores NBA 20-20-20 triple-double

Thursday, 4 April 2019 07:00

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook became only the second player in NBA history to score a '20-20-20' triple-double – dedicating the feat to murdered rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Westbrook scored 20 points and made 20 rebounds and 21 assists in a 119-103 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain managed 22 points, 25 rebounds and 21 assists for the Philadelphia 76ers against Detroit in 1968.

Nipsey Hussle, 33, was shot dead in Los Angeles on Sunday.

"That was for my bro," 30-year-old Westbrook said.

"That wasn't for me, that's for Nipsey - 20 plus 20 plus 20. Rest in peace Nipsey."
