Lakers' Russell Westbrook ties bench triple-double mark, aims for ... (OCRegister)

ORLANDO, Fla. — Behind thick, black frames, Russell Westbrook looked puzzled for a moment. What memories or thoughts does Detlef Schrempf conjure up?

When he gets the rebound, he gets on the break, I got to run with him.” So, I know when I’m out on the floor with him, I just got to run. “He could have fought it, and instead, we put our heads together and took a good, long hard look at the balance, and you have to realize that an NBA lineup has to have balance,” he said. With Orlando’s superior size, a big part of the game plan was attacking in transition, and Westbrook – aside from going 6 for 11 from the field himself, helped the Lakers edge the Magic in fast-break points (12-8). Sooner or later, Westbrook is probably going to pass Schrempf, and then he might be able to set his sights on the Sixth Man award as the season goes on. It’s a record that would barely ever come up on the radar of even the most dedicated NBA fan, certainly nowhere near as hallowed as the 197 triple-doubles Westbrook has amassed in his career, more than anyone in the history of the league.

On Tuesday, he checked a major box by registering his third triple-double of the season, all of which have come off the bench.

Russell Westbrook Made NBA History On Tuesday (Yardbarker)

The Los Angeles Lakers have had an underwhelming 2022-23 season so far, but veteran guard Russell Westbrook has been a major bright spot.

Nets have moved past the offseason and in-season drama Brooklyn, one of the more problematic teams in the past two seasons, has found a way to put things behind them. Since his takeover, the team has had a noticeable change in their play and of course the outcomes. During the first two weeks of the 2022-23 campaign, the Nets were at the bottom in defense. Players can either be the second coming of Michael Jordan, or one of the biggest busts in decades, depending on who you talk to and after which game you have that talk. 300s Level Seating Tickets for the 300s level seating are starting at $498 with a ceiling of $1,625. You know, we’re just two young guys that love to compete and try to help our team win every night and just try to get better.” That’s just an example of how quickly narratives can change in the NBA. Then, they finally made it to the NBA Finals, and all the chatter came to a sudden end. However, he still has all of the elite tools that made him the team’s top prospect in 2019, and with a little luck and confidence, maybe some unexpected can happen. It is possible he simply needs more experience and at-bats with the top team, a reality he could experience during spring training. Defensively, Florial is a phenomenal athlete, utilizing his speed and strength to get the job done with ease. With that being said, Cashman made it known that Oswaldo Cabrera and Aaron Hicks could end up competing for the starting job this upcoming season, but there’s another prospect who could have a prime opportunity to rise to the occasion. Those numbers usually indicate that a player is ready to make the jump to the bigs, but Florial failed to make an impact across 17 games with the Bombers last season.
