A triple-double record in the NBA was set on March 13, 2021.
THE FIVE PLAYERS WHO MADE THE NBA RECORD FOR TRIPLE-DOUBLE ON SATURDAY POSSIBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NBA HISTORY ARE GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO, RUSSELL WESTBROOK, JAMES HARDEN, DOMANTAS SABONIS, AND JULIUS RANDLE.
It is just as important for any player to record a triple-double as it is to score baskets. The status of a player’s performance is determined by this.
It is one of the NBA’s officially recorded statistics. This also determines who is eligible for the MVP award, which is a significant honor in the league.
It is a single-game performance in which the player scores ten or more points in at least three of the following statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots.
Making a triple-double in a game is not uncommon, but doing so in consecutive games is uncommon.
There are numerous records for triple-doubles by one or two players.
BUT THIS TIME, FIVE DIFFERENT PLAYERS MADE NBA HISTORY IN A DAY.
Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook are the only players in NBA history to record a triple-double in a single season.
Westbrook is the only player to have accomplished this feat multiple times, completing it in three consecutive seasons.
In the same game, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Russell Westbrook both had triple-doubles.
Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and Russell Westbrook of the Washington Wizards collided in Washington D.C. on Saturday, yielding a historic result.
In the Bucks’ win over the Wizards, each of them records a massive triple-double.
Only six times in NBA history have opposing players recorded more than 30-point triple-doubles in the same game.
It’s only the fourth time in the last four seasons. Giannis led the way with 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists.
GIANNIS BECOMES THE FRANCHISE’S SECOND PLAYER TO TRIPLE-DOUBLE IN BACK-TO-BACK GAMES.
Basketball Hall of Fame Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has achieved that level of success in the Franchise.
Meanwhile, Westbrook had 42 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists in the same game.
WITH ONLY 25 MORE TO GO, HE IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO SUCCEEDING ALL-TIME LEADER OSCAR ROBERTSON ON THE CAREER TRIPLE-DOUBLES.
James Harden becomes aggressive to secure the victory.
With Kevin Durant out with a hamstring strain, James Harden needed to be aggressive.
He had 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 24 points to help the Brooklyn Nets take a 5-point lead over the Detroit Pistons at Barclays Center.
Both teams were tied at 92-92 when two baskets by Harden and a steal by Kyrie Irving gave the Nets a much-needed lead at 96-92.
Harden’s two free throws sealed the victory over the Pistons.
“I HAD TO BE AGGRESSIVE,” SAID HARDEN. “THINGS WEREN’T GOING SO WELL OFFENSIVELY FOR US.
“I think defensively we were playing hard, and it showed,” Harden continued, “but it was one of those nights where we just had to find a way to win.”
“All I had to do was get to the basket and make something for myself and our team.” “All I wanted to do in the last two minutes was be a little more aggressive.”
James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets have won 12 of their last 13 games.
Domantas Sabonis contributes to the Pacers’ victory over the Suns.
Domantas Sabonis of the Indiana Pacers is up next, with 22 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and four steals.
This helped the Pacers build an 11-point lead over the top-ranked defensive Phoenix Suns.
Sabonis scored 14 points in the first half as the Pacers led the Suns 62-57 at Phoenix Suns Arena before the break.
THE TWO-TIME ALL-STAR FOR THE PACERS IS ONE OF FIVE PLAYERS AVERAGING AT LEAST 20 POINTS, 10 REBOUNDS, AND FIVE ASSISTS THIS 2020-21 SEASON.
Julius Randle leads the New York Knicks to victory and makes history in the process.
Finally, Julius Randle, the most improved player candidate, finished with 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists.
This resulted in a 22-point victory for the New York Knicks over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Thunder’s home court.
Randle made some history during the game by:
BECOMING THE FIRST KNICKS PLAYER IN THREE DECADES TO RECORD MULTIPLE TRIPLE-DOUBLES IN THE SAME SEASON.
Mark Jackson was the last player to accomplish this in 1989. Furthermore, it is the Knicks’ 20th victory of the season.
The Knicks are one of the NBA’s most historic franchises, but they haven’t had much success in recent decades.
They reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2000 and have only made the playoffs five times.’
“The Knicks have so much history and tradition,” Randle said.
Randle also set a new career high in assists with 12. This demonstrates that he is progressing under new Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau.
With each passing game, players set and break records. However, seeing players break those records is always exciting.
