NBA wrap: Westbrook extends triple-double streak, Thunder down Rockets

Los Angeles, February 10: Russell Westbrook posted his ninth successive triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Houston Rockets 117-112.

Westbrook extended his streak with 21 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds in the NBA on Saturday (February 9) to match the record set by Wilt Chamberlain in 1968.

Thunder team-mate Paul George added 45 points and 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City overturned a 26-point deficit against Houston.

James Harden scored 42 points – reaching 30 points for the 29th consecutive game – but missed some big shots down the stretch for the Rockets.

Oklahoma City have now won three games in a row, while Houston's three-game winning streak was snapped.

Gasol makes Raptors debut

Marc Gasol – a deadline day acquisition from the Memphis Grizzlies – scored seven points and six rebounds in the Toronto Raptors' 104-99 win over the New York Knicks.

Kemba Walker's 37-point performance lifted the Charlotte Hornets past the Atlanta Hawks 129-120.

Bradley Beal recorded 31 points and added four steals in the Washington Wizards' 134-125 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

Horford and Celtics crumble

Al Horford scored six points on three-of-11 shooting in the Boston Celtics' 123-112 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Avery Bradley scored eight points on three-of-10 shooting as the Grizzlies took down the New Orleans Pelicans 99-90.

Smith and Jordan combine

The pass off the backboard from Dennis Smith Jr. to DeAndre Jordan was a bright spot in the Knicks' loss to the Raptors – a franchise record-tying 16th straight defeat.
