While you were sleeping: Another triple-double for Russell Westbrook, MMA legalized in NY, Who to watch in Sweet 16

Good morning! A lot happens in sports, even when you’re busy doing other non-sports-y stuff. So here are the top headlines and moments from yesterday, in case you missed anything while you were watching season four of House of Cards.

Another triple-double for Westbuckets

Another night, another triple-double for Russell Westbrook. The Oklahoma City star dropped 21 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds to lead the Thunder past the Rockets, 111-107. It was Westbrook’s third triple-double in a row, fourth in his last five games and his sixth in the month of March, the most by a player in a calendar month since Michael Jordan’s seven in April 1989. Westbrook now has 15 triple-doubles this season, the most by a player since Jordan (15) and Magic Johnson (17) in 1988-89. Here’s an emphatic dunk from RussellMania:

Tony Allen’s perfect night

We’re winding down on Kobe Bryant’s career. After scoring 20 points to lead the Lakers past the Grizzlies, 107-100, there are just 12 games left to see the Black Mamba on the court. But the real story last night was Memphis’ defensive stalwart Tony Allen, who exploded on offense for 27 points on a perfect 12-for-12 shooting. On top of that, he did that while being guarded by Bryant. Way to steal Kobe’s shine.

MMA legalized in NY

For the first time in nearly 20 years, MMA is legal in the state of New York. The State Assembly voted to legalize the sport on Tuesday by a bipartisan vote of 113-25. New York had been the lone state where MMA was illegal and despite repeated attempts to vote on a bill to legalize the sport sooner, the bill would stall in the Assembly and never reach the floor for a vote.

The New York State Athletic Commission has 120 days to adopt rules and guidelines. If all goes to plan the UFC, the sport’s biggest promotion, will hold its first event in Madison Square Garden in November.
