It seems that the good times for Russell Westbrook finally comes to its end. NBA superstar's quest to reach out the supreme scoresheet which only Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan were able to achieve in the history NBA, felt just one point less with his streak getting over.

According to CBS Sports, after scoring seven consecutive triple-doubles, Westbrook's streak ended on Sunday in the Thunder's 99-96 win against the Boston Celtics. Westbrook was four assists less of picking up an eighth consecutive triple-double, finishing with 37 points, 12 rebounds six assists and two steals.

He started this supposed streak on November 25, 2016 with 36 points, 11 rebounds and 17 assists in his game against Nuggets. His seventh and the last take in this streak was against Houston Rockets in the game which held on December 9, 2016. His scoresheet in that game depicted a supreme combo of 27 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists.

As per a report by Sporting News, Despite breaking down the triple-double streak, Westbrook played a sensational game and registered a superlative win.He won a jump ball in the closing moments and scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, including a driving basket that gave the Thunder the lead with 30 seconds left.

In comparison to previous NBA triple-double streaks, Westbrook's streak felt short with just two games less than Wilt Chamberlain's record of triple-doubles in nine consecutive games which he made in 1968. Michael Jordan also scored triple-doubles in seven consecutive games in 1989.

Although he was not able to continue his streak, but he still boasts an average of a triple-double at 31.1 points, 10.9 rebounds and 11.0 assists. If he is able to maintain these averages in his upcoming games then he will be the first NBA star player to average a triple-double since Oscar Robertson in 1961-62.
