Gilgeous-Alexander made NBA history in Monday night’s 117-104 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves with his first career triple-double.

He scored 20 points, grabbed 20 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists.

The only other guard with a 20-point, 20-rebound triple-double in the last 30 years? According to Elias Sports Bureau, it’s none other than Russell Westbrook.

At 21 years and 185 days, Gilgeous-Alexander is also the youngest player to record a 20-point, 20-rebound, 10 assists game. Per ESPN Stats, the last time someone posted that kind of stat line was 64 years ago when Maurice Stokes did it back in 1956.  

The Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded the first-ever triple-double of his career in 117-104 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves as he finished with 20 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists.
