Russell Westbrook finished with nine points, ten rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block while shooting 4/11 from the field and 1/4 from the three-point range in 36 minutes of playing time.

He also joined Domantas Sabonis as the only players in NBA history to record a triple-double while shooting 100 percent from the floor and the free-throw line (Sabonis accomplished this feat earlier this season).

In the starting lineup again, Russell Westbrook finished with nine points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and three steals. Making some big plays on both ends down the stretch, Westbrook also made NBA history in this game.

Russell Westbrook made NBA history with a standout performance in the Denver Nuggets' win over the Utah Jazz on Monday.

The Denver Nuggets have surged up to 4th place in the West, and it could be thanks in large part to Russell Westbrook becoming a starter.

It is only the third time in NBA history a player has hit the triple-double mark without missing a shot from the floor or the line. Westbrook's superstar Nuggets teammate, Nikola Jokic, was the first to achieve the feat back in 2018; Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis joined him on November 6 earlier this year.
