Another record breaking night for NBA: six triple-doubles made

It seems like NBA has days like never each game night with players making records after records.

NBA players break another record, made just four days ago, where 5 players made triple-double on the same day.

The record breaks again after six different players made triple-doubles on the same day this Wednesday.

Last time, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Julius Randle, and Domantas Sabonis made five triple-doubles.

Wednesday was a historic day for many players, where many players made their career high points, and many shined with their performance.

What made Wednesday more notable and historic was six different players dropping six triple-doubles.

After the previous single-day triple-double record of 5 was set last Saturday.. these 6 players set a new record Wednesday!@JHarden13: 40p/10r/15a@Dsabonis11: 18p/11r/11a@Money23Green: 16p/12r/10a@BenSimmons25: 13p/10r/12a@russwest44: 26p/14r/10a

This time Draymond Green, Ben Simmons, Russell Westbrook, Nikola Jokic, James Harden, and Domantas Sabonis are the six players making triple-doubles.

Golden State Warriors versatile guard Draymond Green redeemed himself with triple-doubles

Draymond Green made 2 points in the previous game against the Lakers, and the netizen was not happy with the performance of  Draymond Green.

They said it was an embarrassing performance from him. 

On Wednesday, Draymond was out there playmaking on the game against Houston Rockets.

Draymond led the warriors to win after GSW captain Steph Curry suffered after launching 3-pointer in the fourth quarter.

In Houston, Draymond Green helped the Warriors to victory with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Rockets.

The Warriors won the game against the Rockets by 14 points, where they made 108 points.

Meanwhile, the Rockets gathered 94 points.

In the same game, another GSW player Jordan Poole also made impressive team-high 25 points to win.

Even though Draymond Green seems light-hearted after today’s win, he will have a tough time leading the team next game.

GSW is against tough Memphis Grizzlies, and they will be without centers James Wiseman and Eric Paschall.

They will probably be without Steph Curry due to injury.

Ben Simmons gave an impressive defensive game against the Milwaukee Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers’ Ben Simmons displayed one of his finest defensive plays to give Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo a nightmare.

Simmons shut down the two-time reigning MVP Giannis for much of the game and allowed only four points in the first half.

The 76ers were able to give a hard time to MVP-led Bucks and pushed the play to overtime.

Without 76ers’ top player Joel Embid out due to injury, 76ers looked for a win but could not get the win.

Despite the loss of the 76ers’ Ben Simmons gave the team an impressive performance and gave triple-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists.

His impressive defensive performance received lots of praise.

 76ers head coach Doc Rivers even declaring Simmons a ‘lock’ for Defensive Player of the Year.

Philadelphia 76ers lost to Milwaukee Bucks by only 4 points in OT.

Simmons got the last point in the game where he made the last 3 pointers for the 76ers.   

Eastern Conference No.1 76ers right now will face Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

Russell Westbrook hits the Kings with a triple-double

Washington Wizards’ Russell Westbrook is not missing out on the triple-double record.

Last time when NBA made history with five triple on the same day, Russell was part of the record.

This time too, Russell Westbrook didn’t miss out. On Wednesday, Russell made 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists to be part of the record.

As the king of triple-double, Russell Westbrook makes another one in 121-199 loss to the Kings.

After being outscored by the Kings 36-27 in the third quarter, Washington bounced back to keep the game close with the Kings.

At the last minute of the fourth quarter, Westbrook banked two free throws to bring their deficit down to 119-115.

A layup from Westbrook brought the deficit down more to 119-117. Wizards grabbed the defensive rebound after a missed layup by the Kings.

Then Westbrook again made a layup to tie the game at 199-all; however, the Kings’ Fox went up for the jump shot and led the kings.

Despite the loss, Westbrook’s effort got him his 12th triple-double.

The Wizards won’t get much rest as they will be playing on Thursday against the Utah Jazz.

Nikola Jokic drops the 10th triple-double of the season to become an all-time leader for Denver Nuggets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic not only breaks the NBA record but also makes the franchise history in the win over Charlotte Hornets.

Nikola Jokic made 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists for his 10th triple-doubles this season and 51 in total.

It was an effortless night for Jokic as he made 12 points with just seven shots where he made six of them.

Jokic also played only for 28 minutes to get the triple-double and did not play for the fourth quarter. 

He also had his 228th double-double to become an all-time leader in a double-double in franchise history passing Dikembe Mutumbo.

Jokic also leads the NBA in double-doubles this season with 36 in 40 games.

Denver Nuggets had a blowout win against the Charlotte Hornets, where the teams’ big three played well.

Besides Jokic, both Michael Porter Jr and Jamal Murray scored well in Denver’s win against Charlotte.

Porter scored 28 points and got 13 rebounds, while Murray scored 19 points. 

Jokic, Murray, and Porter are gaining momentum, which could scare the rest of the NBA.

James Harden, without Kevin Durant, Kyrie, and Blake Griffin, leads the Nets to win

Despite not having the team’s best players, the Brooklyn Nets defeated Indiana Pacer. 

James Harden led the team to a 124-115 point lead over the Pacer with a triple-double.

He made 40 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, and two steals in an amazing performance without his primary mates.

“Nothing fazes us at this point,” said James after the game to reporters.

Despite the Nets’ loss, Sabonis made a franchise record for the Pacers as he made the record for most triple-doubles in a season.

It’s Sabonis’ sixth triple-double this season, and this breaks a tie with Lance Stephenson for most triple-doubles in a season.

He is rapidly turning into one of the best passers in league with his 6.4 assists per game this season behind Jokic for centers.

His passing ability is what makes him one of the most effective centers.

The Pacers are now at 10th place in the Eastern Conference. They will be against Miami Heat on Saturday.

NBA is having a record-breaking night again and seems like it will continue to have such nights looking at the players making great plays.

With each passing game, NBA is getting more and more interesting to watch.
