Thunder Quick Notes: After capping-off a season long six-game road trip last night with a victory over the Pelicans in New Orleans, the Thunder returns home to take-on the Mavericks this evening on the second night of a back-to-back. Entering tonight’s contest versus the Mavs, OKC has won its last four games at Chesapeake Energy Arena. With a win tonight, the Thunder would improve to a season-best nine games above .500. During the month of January, the Thunder is scheduled to play 12 of 15 games away from Chesapeake Energy Arena. During the month, OKC is set to travel more than 16,000 miles while logging nearly 40 hours of flight time. Through 22 games this year the Thunder posted a record of 14-8, which equaled the start for Oklahoma City during the 2015-16 season. Additionally, OKC tipped off the season with a 6-1 record, which represented the best start in Thunder history through seven games. Second EVER: Through the first 46 games of the season, Russell Westbrook has amassed averages of 30.7 points (1st in the NBA), 10.7 rebounds (11th in the NBA) and 10.4 assists (2nd in the NBA). By reaching these benchmarks, Westbrook is now the second player in NBA history (Oscar Robertson) to average 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and 10+ assists through the first 40+ games of a NBA season. Westbrook again joins Robertson (1961-62) as the only player in NBA history to average a triple-double entering the month of January. Westbrook Triple-Double Notes: With 23 triple-doubles on the season, Russell Westbrook is now one of just three players (Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson) to record 20+ triple doubles in a single season. Westbrook now owns 60 career triple-doubles which is the most among active NBA players and the fifth most in NBA history. His 23 triple-doubles already surpasses his total from last year (Westbrook recorded 18 triple-doubles during the 2015- 16 season which equaled the most since Magic Johnson during the 1981-82 season). Westbrook’s 23 triple-doubles are now the most since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967-68 (31 triple-doubles). Chamberlain was also the last player to record 18 or more triple doubles in back-to-back seasons (1966-67 and 1967-68). ALL-TIME NBA TRIPLE-DOUBLE LEADERS Oscar Robertson: 181 Magic Johnson: 138 Jason Kidd: 107 Wilt Chamberlain: 78 Russell Westbrook: 60 Larry Bird: 59 LeBron James: 45 Translating to Wins: Dating back to the start of last season, Oklahoma City has gone a remarkable 36-5 when Westbrook records a triple-double. After going a perfect 18-0 last season in Westbrook’s triple-double games, OKC is currently 18-5 this season when Westbrook accomplishes the feat.
