Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook will take a second crack at NBA history Friday night when he seeks a record-breaking 42nd triple-double against a team that has offered him little resistance this season, the Phoenix Suns.
Four days after their city hosted the NCAA Tournament championship game, basketball fans in Phoenix could get an opportunity to witness Westbrook break the record set by Oscar Robertson in 1961-62.
Riding a seven-game streak of triple-doubles, Westbrook came within one rebound of breaking the record Wednesday night in Memphis in a 103-100 win to which he contributed 45 points and 10 assists.
