Your family is very proud of you, and I salute you for all your accomplishments in the game of basketball," he added. Magic Johnson - who sits third on the triple-double list - said he was "proud" of Westbrook and fifth-placed LeBron James called it "an incredible feat".Elsewhere, Stephen Curry scored 36 points as the Golden State Warriors beat Western Conference leaders the Utah Jazz 119-116.
