Josh Giddey Breaks LaMelo Ball's Record as Youngest NBA Player to Post Triple-Double

LaMelo Ball's record didn't last long.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey finished with a triple-double of 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds during Sunday's 95-86 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. It was quite the showing for the rookie, although it wasn't enough to overcome OKC's general issues on the offensive end during a low-scoring affair.
