Lakers: Russell Westbrook makes quadruple double history LA wont love (2024)

Los Angeles Lakers court general Russell Westbrook put his name in the history books once again with another unique quadruple-double performance. Playing against his old team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Westbrook's first triple-double as a member of Laker Nation, unfortunately, came with a shocking add-on as he chalked up another 10-turnover game.

The former MVP and reigning triple-double king was a beast against OKC and tallied 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists but Russ couldn't take care of the ball and had a team-high of 10 turnovers to also mark his first quadruple-hobble game for the Lakers. This now puts Brodie as the player with the most triple-double performances with 10 turnovers since 1985 with a total of six (via StatMuse).

As much as Westbrook loves setting and breaking records, this is definitely one that he won't be too proud of. The 32-year-old carelessness with the rock on Wednesday proved to be quite costly for the visiting Lakers unit. Westbrook's 10-turnover tally was way more than the total of the rest of the starting five with Anthony Davis, Kent Bazemore, Malik Monk, and DeAndre Jordan all combining for just five.

To add more insult to injury, LA continues to struggle this season with another tough loss against the Thunder, 123-115. With Westbrook calling the shots, and LeBron James sitting out a few games to nurse his leg, the Lakers still have yet to really find their groove.
