Russell Westbrook's A Triple-Double Machine

Russell Westbrook has not only led his Thunder team to four straight wins, but the electric point guard is breathing rarefied air as he ripped off his second straight triple-double in OKC's 115-111 win over the Pacers on Saturday night. Westbrook tallied 14 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds in the W, just one night after racking up 20 points, 10 assists and 15 rebounds in a blowout of the 76ers.

Westbrook's recent performance set Twitter ablaze last night as he's accumulated more triple-doubles in a season (14) than anyone in the last 25 years. Here's a glimpse of what was being tweeted:

Russell Westbrook: 14 Pts, 14 Ast, 11 Reb.
