OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook recorded his 44th career triple-double Saturday night, moving past Fat Lever and into a tie with LeBron James for sixth all time.Theres a catch, though: Westbrook did it in 395 fewer games than James.Asked what it means to be in such company, Westbrook said, I mean, nothing. Im happy we won -- thats the most important part for me. But I definitely dont take anything for granted. Like I said, every night I step on the floor I try to compete at a high level and [am] thankful I can play the game I love every night.Westbrook finished with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists in the Oklahoma City Thunders 106-88 win over the Detroit Pistons?on Saturday night. It was Westbrooks seventh triple-double this season and his fourth in the past six games.There have been 14 total triple-doubles in the NBA this season. Last season, Westbrook finished with 18, the most in one season since Magic Johnson in 1981-82. Westbrook is on pace for 33 triple-doubles this season, which would be the most since Oscar Robertson had 41 in 1961-62.Its a combination of me getting better as a player and also being patient, Westbrook said. Before, it was a little different, because I was not as effective at finishing around the basket, but now Im able to get down to the basket and make plays for my teammates.Ahead of Westbrook on the career triple-doubles leaderboard are Larry Bird (59), Wilt Chamberlain (78), Jason Kidd (107), Johnson (138) and Robertson (181). Robertson, of course, is the last player to average a triple-double for an entire season.Through 18 games, Westbrook sits at 31.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 11.1 assists.To put up those numbers, the people that are in that category, hes a Hall of Fame player, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. I mean, thats really what he is. Hes a Hall of Fame player. And its really remarkable what hes doing.Westbrook doesnt scrape by with triple-doubles, either, making it a trademark to supersize them into eye-popping stat lines. In his 44 triple-doubles, hes averaging 25.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 12.9 assists. For perspective, in Kidds 107 triple-doubles, he averaged 17.5 points, 11.3 rebounds and 12.2 assists.Hes extremely rare, just because Ive never seen a player be able to impact the game in the amount of ways he can impact it, Donovan said. And I mean that from a standpoint of analytically or statistically. Hes impacting our team in terms of his leadership, he impacts our team raising our energy, he raises when were down. ... He can do so many different things. I think thats why he plays so fearlessly, because he knows there are ways for him [to impact the game]. Hes not just a one-way limited player.As ESPNs Tom Haberstroh recently noted, Westbrook also is playing a slower-paced game than Robertson did in his triple-double season. On average, Westbrooks team is playing about 25 fewer possessions per game than Robertsons did.Westbrook doesnt like talking about his historic numbers, always returning to the most important result -- winning. But for the most part, thats what the Thunder do when he records a triple-double. Theyre now 38-6 in his triple-double games, including 5-2 this season.As a coach you feel very, very blessed and fortunate to be able to work with someone like that every single day, just because he takes it so seriously, Donovan said. He cares so much about the team, and winning.According to ESPN Stats & Information, at his current clip, Westbrook would pass Bird for fifth all time sometime in mid-January.

SEATTLE -- Adoree Jackson sprinted into the purple end zone, planted his feet and flipped backward , perfectly sticking the landing.Southern California celebrated its biggest victory of the season with style and flash Saturday night.Sam Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns and USC upset No. 4 Washington 26-13 on Saturday night, snapping the Huskies 12-game winning streak and damaging their College Football Playoff hopes.Darnold was outstanding against one of the top defenses in the Pac-12, showing why USC has surged since he became the starter. Darnolds lofted pass over linebacker D.J. Beavers and into the arms of tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe for an 8-yard touchdown strike in the opening moments of the fourth quarter gave USC an 11-point lead that Washington (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12, No. 4 CFP) couldnt overcome.To play that game, at this age, in that atmosphere? Unbelievable, USC coach Clay Helton said.Ronald Jones II added 93 yards rushing and a touchdown. USC (7-3, 6-2, No. 20 CFP) won its sixth straight and should get back into the AP Top 25 while keeping alive its hopes of winning the Pac-12 South.Washington coach Chris Petersen cautioned all week that USC was back to looking like the most talented team in the Pac-12 and he was proved correct. Darnold flustered Washingtons defense by keeping plays alive with his feet and found gaps in the Huskies secondary that have been difficult for others to find.If guys are looking down the horizon, youre going to get hit right between the eyes, Petersen said. Theres too many good players and coaches in this league. ... I think we played a good team tonight.Darreus Rogers had six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, while Imatorbhebhe added five catches for 78 yards. Washington lost starting middle linebacker Azeem Victor in the second quarter to a lower right leg injury that required an air cast and a cart to take the Huskies leading tackler off the field. His absence was felt in the pass game where USC exploited the middle of the field.When you have great players in front of you ... its your job to get them the ball and find the open guy. I thought I did that pretty well tonight, Darnold said.Washington quarterback Jake Browning was 17 of 36 for 259 yards, including a 70-yard TD pass to John Ross where he shook Jackson at the line of scrimmage. Ross finished with eight catches for 154 yards, but the Huskies were held to 17 yards rushing after coming into the week as the Pac-12 leader averaging 231 yards per game.Herees where we find out if were the front-runners that are only playing well when things are going well or are we going to respond and bounce back stronger? Browning said.dddddddddddd That will be interesting to see what kind of team are we.When USC went ahead 10-3 on Rogers 13-yard TD catch it was the first time Washington trailed at home since the first quarter of last Novembers Apple Cup against Washington State. The 17-6 halftime lead for the Trojans marked Washingtons first halftime deficit in more than a calendar year. The Huskies last trailed at the break on Nov. 7, 2015, against Utah, a game they lost 34-23.It was the drive just before halftime that put USC in control. Taking over at the 18 with 2:27 left in the half, Darnold completed 4 of 7 passes for 75 yards and capped the drive with Jones 4-yard TD run and an 11-point lead at the break.USC also got a huge play from Jack Jones in the third quarter blocking Cameron Van Winkles 38-yard field goal attempt after Darnold was intercepted for a second time by Washingtons Taylor Rapp.POLL IMPLICATIONSWelcome back to the AP Top 25 , USC. The Trojans were the first team outside the Top 25 last week but certainly will make a significant leap after the impressive win. With rest of the chaos this week, perhaps USC will crack the top 20.The chaos in the top 10 may help Washington also. The Huskies may not be penalized as much because of other top 10 teams losing.THE TAKEAWAYUSC: Jackson didnt have the best night, especially when he was matched up in coverage on Ross. But he came up with two key interceptions, both times using his quickness to break in front of the receivers and grab Brownings pass.Washington: The big plays that have been part of Washingtons success all season were absent. Washington had just three plays of longer than 20 yards: Two by Ross and a 28-yard pass to Chico McClatcher.INJURY REPORTPetersen did not have much of an update after the game on Victors injury. Its another blow to Washingtons defense that is likely to be without defensive end and sack leader Joe Mathis for the rest of the season due to foot surgery.UP NEXTUSC: The Trojans travel across town next Saturday to face rival UCLA at the Rose Bowl.Washington: The Huskies close out their home schedule hosting Arizona State.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
