Russell Westbrook Records a Triple-Double in the First Half Because Damn

So, should he just start blocking and go for a quadruple-double? Probably.

Russell Westbrook is already obliterating the limitations of what normal basketball human beings can do. After becoming the second person to ever average a triple-double across a whole season, Westbrook went into a playoff series against a fearsome Houston Rockets and is taking matters into his own hands yet again. Except he decided to step up this ho-hum triple-double per game situation for the Playoffs, and went for a fucking triple-double in the first half. That's 17 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists in 24 minutes.
