The NBA season is here with a vengeance, as some teams are looking downright difficult to handle. That includes the Toronto Raptors who have lost just one game so far. Meanwhile, other teams are fighting and clawing their way to be considered among the best eight in their conference. On Wednesday, November 7, fans saw some mighty performances on the hardwood including two-near triple-doubles and a variety of double-doubles.
Hassan Whiteside - Miami Heat
On a night where many stars had double-doubles, Whiteside achieved one of the most impressive lines. The Heat center scored 29 points, while also collecting 20 rebounds, in a 95-88 home win against the San Antonio Spurs, Wednesday night. What's even more impressive is that Whiteside fell one block short of a triple-double, after recording a game-high nine, compared to eight total, for the Spurs.
The only players since 1983-84 to have at least 29 PTS/20 REB/9 BLK in a single game:
