The triple-double is back in vogue with the latest historic feat from Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook. The Brodie passed Oscar Robertson for the NBA's all-time record with 182 total. But Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green isn't too shabby in that department either.
Draymond Green notched his 30th career triple-double after he tallied 11 points, 10 rebounds, and eleven assists for the Warriors in their riveting contest against the Phoenix Suns. While those certainly aren't as eye-popping as Russell Westbrook's usual box score offering, they do solidify Green's hold for his own triple-double record.

29 of those have come in wins.

A triple-double for Green has been a near-guaranteed victory for the Warriors every single time. This just goes to show that Green's do-it-all abilities certainly have a tremendous impact on Golden State when he's firing on all cylinders.
But Russell Westbrook is no slouch in that department either. His career win-loss record during games when he has triple-doubles is a mind-boggling 136-46. That's good for a .747 win percentage. For reference, that win-rate for a team would be first in the NBA this season, a couple of games above the league-leading Utah Jazz.
Westbrook's teams fall to 136-46 lifetime when he triple-doubles … for a winning percentage of .747.

You can also argue that Green has had the luxury of playing alongside Stephen Curry all these years. And while Russell Westbrook had his time with Kevin Durant, so did Green for three entire years.
Nonetheless, let's just appreciate what both stars are able to accomplish. With the Washington Wizards and the Golden State Warriors destined for the play-in tournament, they better hope both their stars come up with a triple-double performance that leads to another win.
