OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook notched his fifth consecutive triple-double -- the longest streak of his career and the NBAs longest since Michael Jordans seven straight in 1989 -- in the Thunders 101-92 win over the New Orleans Pelicans?on Sunday.?I just play, honestly, Westbrook said. I dont want to get into a conversation if Im going to do it every night. I just want to go out and compete at a high level, like Ive been doing since Ive been in the NBA.Westbrook had his triple-double, his 10th of the season and the 47th of his career, by the middle of the third quarter and finished with 28 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists. (Technically, it was a quadruple-double, as he had 10 turnovers as well.)Now 21 games into the season, Westbrook continues to average a triple-double -- 31.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 11.3 assists. He is the first player since Oscar Robertson in 1963-64 to accomplish the feat this late into the season.?I think the worst thing you can do is take him for granted or take what hes doing for granted, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. I would say this: Hes creating a norm for himself, and I think in creating that norm, what you dont want to do is take it for granted, and I think it speaks to how he can impact a game of basketball.Westbrook has 10 triple-doubles this season; the rest of the NBA has combined for 11. The Thunder are 8-2 in games in which Westbrook records one.I just like to win, brother. Honestly, Westbrook said. Thats the most important part. Making sure everybody is good, making sure my guys are happy with their games, and make sure we win the game.With the win Sunday, the Thunder improved to 13-8 and not coincidentally have won five straight during Westbrooks triple-double stretch. During the streak, Westbrook is averaging 28.6 points, 14.4 rebounds and 13.8 assists.I dont think I have any word to describe him, man. [English] is my second language. I dont think theres any word to describe his play, Thunder center?Enes Kanter said. Hes doing an amazing job. Hes not just making himself better, but hes making everybody else better around him. Thats what a really special player does. Hes not worrying about his stats; hes worrying about everybodys stats. And hes making sure were winning games. Hes just an unbelievable player.The Thunder withstood another massive line from Anthony Davis, who finished with 37 points and 15 rebounds.He cant beat us just by himself, Kanter said. Thats what a really special player does, look at Russell. Getting his stats, but making everybody else better. With them, hes done a good job. I dont want to say nothing bad about him. Hes a good player. Thats it.Sundays game marks the third time Westbrook has hauled in more than 15 rebounds in a contest this season. A point guard, Westbrook is ninth in the NBA in rebounds per game this season.Just grabbing the ball before the other team does, Westbrook deadpanned when asked why he has had such a jump in rebounding this season.His determination is second to none in the league, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. I coached him in an All-Star Game, and he plays the same way in an All-Star Game. Everybodys out there having fun, and hes as focused as anybody Ive seen in an All-Star Game.Westbrook is actually an assist and two rebounds away from nine consecutive triple-doubles.You say, Well, who is he like? I dont know of another player in the league that you could really compare him to, Gentry said. I dont know a lot about baseball, but I would say [averaging a triple-double] is probably a lot like hitting .500 for a month. Vapormax Sleva .

I care so deeply about the Galaxy organization, and I believe I could help in a small way to aid the team in its quest for a sixth MLS championship.This is the only meeting between the two teams during the 2016 regular season.
