Lakers' Russell Westbrook 'grateful' as march up record book continues

NEW YORK -- LeBron James isn't the only Los Angeles Lakers player making remarkable moves in the record books while the team remains pedestrian in the standings.

Guard Russell Westbrook passed Gary Payton for No. 10 on the NBA's all-time assists list during the Lakers' 121-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night.

"If somebody had told me 15 years ago, 20 years ago that you'd be top 10 in assists, I'd look at them like they was crazy," Westbrook said after finishing with 17 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds.
