OKLAHOMA CITY -- With a rebound midway through the fourth quarter, Russell Westbrook notched his seventh consecutive triple-double, the longest such streak since Michael Jordan?had seven in a row in 1989. Melvin Gordon III Chargers Jersey .But as one streak continued, another ended, as the Houston Rockets?won 102-99 to snap the Oklahoma City Thunders six-game winning streak. Westbrook finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and sparked a 13-point comeback, but the Thunder fell short, with Westbrook and Anthony Morrow both airballing potential go-ahead 3-pointers in the final 30 seconds.Afterward, Westbrook was in no mood to discuss the achievement, flashing only a cold glare coupled with awkward silence when he was asked about it.Westbrook got deep into the paint twice in the closing minutes with a chance to put the Thunder ahead but missed two left-handed layups. He also set up Victor Oladipo on a three-on-two fast break with 29 seconds left, but Oladipo was unable to finish the layup.Just missing, Westbrook said. Missing easy layups.After picking up the triple-double, his 12th of the season and 49th of his career, Westbrook didnt have another rebound or assist for the final 7:41 of the game. He did score 12 of the Thunders final 18 points.Westbrook was just 8-of-25 from the floor and turned it over eight times while being hounded by nemesis Patrick Beverley, although he?was unwilling to credit Beverleys defense on him.I missed a lot of easy shots, man. Honestly, brother, Westbrook said. I havent made no shots in the last month. S---, so, just gotta get my mind right.Beverley, though, had no problem praising Westbrook.Hes a really good, Beverley said, pausing. Hes a really, really, really, really, really, really, really good player.You got to think I got all my friends telling me, Dont let him get a triple-double. Dont let him get a triple-double, Beverley said. Like I said, hes one of the best players in the league. Im just happy we were fortunate to get a win today.According to research by ESPN Stats & Information, Westbrook is now 4-of-27 in his career on potential go-ahead shots in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime. He has missed 10 of his past 11 such attempts.I thought we got the ball where we wanted to, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. The last two possessions, in particular the underneath, out-of-bounds play with 16 seconds left, I think we got the ball where we wanted to for Russell. ... I felt like we got Russell the ball in a pretty good spot for himself where he can play and create and make things happen. Unfortunately, he lost control of the ball a little bit, but I think we had him right where we wanted him to catch it.The Thunder are now 9-3 this season when Westbrook has a triple-double, with the three losses coming by a combined nine points.Westbrook is one of only four players to register at least seven consecutive triple-doubles, joining Jordan, Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain. He can pass Jordan on Sunday against the Boston Celtics?and move within one of the longest streak ever, set by Chamberlain in 1968. Easton Stick Chargers Jersey . Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight. The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger. Joey Bosa Womens Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. http:///...oey-bosa-jersey.html . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Bournemouth have quickly become one of the most interesting stories in the Premier League since their arrival in the top-flight last season.A club that teetered on the verge of bankruptcy while playing in the fourth division just a few seasons ago, have morphed into one of the feel-good stories around the league and look for more success Sunday against visiting Southampton.Much of the credit must go to manager Eddie Howe, who has spent wisely in the transfer market and deployed excellent tactics during his tenure on the south coast. So much so that he is garnering serious consideration for the England national team job at age 39.Howes Cherries (6-3-7) find themselves in 10th place heading into the weekend, having won two of their last three Premier League matches in impressive fashion.Their best win of the campaign, and perhaps in club history, came Dec. 4 as they battled back from a 3-1 second-half deficit to claim a wild 4-3 win over Liverpool at Vitality Stadium. Their most recent victory came on a first-half strike from Marc Pugh to knock off Leicester City.Howe, to his credit, has done a masterful job of keeping expectations in perspective during his clubs seemingly meteoric turnaround. Hes been able to keep focused on the task in front of him, and not think to much about European qualification.Were building nicely. The team is growing and getting better and theres still a lot more to come, Howe said. Were in a really good position to hopefully kick on and get better further.The clubs come so far so quickly, sometimes its maybe nice for others to sit back and enjoy the position were in. But for me, Im always looking for more and to achieve the next goal, and thats to try to beat Southampton.That chance to beat Southampton in the South Coast derby is now. The clubs are level on 21 points and Howe realises the significance of the derby.The atmosphere in last years games were terrific, he continued. The scenes were really enjoyable after the home win and the away game was not such a nice feeling. Its a big game for the supporters, its an important game for theem. Melvin Gordon III Womens Jersey. .I think the more games we play, the rivalry will develop. Its a new thing and you need time to form those connections. They have tweaked their team but not their style -- they have healthy options and theyve done very well considering the amount of workload they have had from the cup games.Southampton (5-6-5), for their part, come into the clash one spot above Bournemouth on goal difference and are looking to extend their modest two-match unbeaten streak following last Sundays 1-0 win over Middlesbrough and Wednesdays scoreless draw against Stoke City.Stoke midfielder Marko Arnautovic saw red in the 23rd minute and the Saints attacked the Stoke goal in waves, but were unable to put one behind goalkeeper Lee Grant.Saints manager Claude Puel expects a fiery encounter this weekend.A game away is always difficult to play, with a little stadium, he said. Most important is the quality of the team, because they have good technical players and the profile of these players is technical.For every position is a good player and this is very important in the philosophy of this club. Southampton also try to have that. We will play a good team, with good players and a good philosophy. I think its interesting.Like his managerial counterpart, Puel also acknowledges the importance of the derby match for the supporters.The two cities are close, he added. All this gives a good intensity to the game and a good atmosphere. Of course the result is important for the fans, but also for us. We need to show a good concentration.Four of the last five competitive meetings between Bournemouth and Southampton have ended in a 2-0 win for the home side. Southampton have lost just one of their last seven league games against Bournemouth (five wins, one draw, one defeat), although this did come in their last meeting.There has been a red card in three of the last four competitive meetings between these sides, with two being shown to Southampton players.
