WASHINGTON: NBA scoring leader Russell Westbrook un-leashed his 35th triple double of the season Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), making NBA history and powering the Oklahoma City Thunder over visiting Philadelphia 122-97. Westbrook went a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor and free throw line to score 18 points, also grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds and passing off a game-high 14 assists to spark the Thunder. That was the season Robertson became the only player in NBA history to average a triple double for the entire season, a feat Westbrook is on pace to match. Westbrook leads the NBA with 31.4 points a game and also averages 10.5 rebounds and 10.3 assists a game. Isaiah Thomas scored 25 points and Avery Bradley added 18 points as the Boston Celtics (46-26) cruised over visiting Indiana 109-100.
