"He's a winner" Wizards coach hails Westbrook after historic night

Washington Wizards coach Scott Brooks and Robin Lopez have hailed Russell Westbrook's historic achievement on Monday night.

The 32-year-old Westbrook set the NBA record with his 182nd triple-double, surpassing the mark set by Oscar Robertson in 1974.

The 2016-17 MVP and nine-time All-Star reached the milestone when he grabbed his 10th rebound in the Wizards' 125-124 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Westbrook had 33 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists, closing out the game with a blocked shot.
