Westbrook sets NBA triple-double record, Wizards still lose 125-124 to Hawks

Russell Westbrook broke Oscar Robertson's 47-year-old NBA record for triple-doubles and missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer as the Washington Wizards lost 125-124 to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday (10 May).

Westbrook completed his 182nd triple-double when he pulled down a rebound with 8:29 remaining. The nine-time All-Star and 2016-17 MVP finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds and 21 assists, carrying the load for a Wizards team that was missing Bradley Beal, the league's No. 2 scorer.

Washington is 10th in the East, which would give the Wizards the final spot in the league's new postseason play-in tournament.
