Top 10 of Russell Westbrook's triple doubles

#5 December 23rd 2016 vs Boston

Isaiah Thomas and the Celtics were no match for the Russ train

From here on out you will see nothing but 40+ point triple doubles on the list, something that was rare until Russ went inferno in 2016-2017. He led the Thunder to a victory over the eventual one seed in the Eastern Conference, throwing up 45 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. This is impressive against a team that was clearly better than the Thunder over the course of the season, exhibiting just how much the dominance of Russ' will levels the playing field in any game.

He shot 13-25 from the field, a hyper-efficient 5-7 from three, and 14-16 from the charity stripe. This game is evidence of how impossible Russ is to defend when his outside shot is locked in but he's still aggressive. At times, Russ has the propensity to fall in love with his jumper from deep, even when it's not working, but on this night he was able to shoot efficiently from deep without extending his volume. When Russ matches patience, hot outside shooting, and continual drives to the hoop, he is truly an impossible guard.
