Russell Westbrook vs. Lakers: Stats, Highlights and Reaction

Russell Westbrook has been racking up triple-doubles at a constant rate this year, though Monday's was a little different.

The Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star point guard secured a triple-double, his 18th of the year, in the second quarter, finishing with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists in the Thunder's 112-79 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Westbrook became the first player since Kevin Johnson in 1997 to record a triple-double in the first half, per SportsCenter.

The official time for Westbrook's triple-double was 17 minutes, 35 seconds, per CBS Sports.

Despite Westbrook's historic feat, it was a subpar shooting night for him. Westbrook was 5-of-13 from the floor, missed all five of his three-point attempts and even missed two of five free throws.

Nevertheless, players don't often notch triple-doubles in one half, per ESPN Stats & Info:

The moment also required some celebratory dancing, per Rob Perez of Fox Sports:

The Jordan Brand also showed its star athlete some love:

Westbrook isn't going to catch Oscar Robertson's record of 41 triple-doubles in a season, but in the modern era, notching 18 triple-doubles is impressive. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who has the second-most triple-doubles this year, trails Westbrook by five, followed by Rajon Rondo, who has six triple-doubles this season.

As long as Westbrook continues to record triple-doubles, it will tough to count the Thunder in the playoffs.
