Russell Westbrook went into Indiana (home-town of Oscar Robertson) and tied Robertson s record of 181 career triple-doubles.
Lost in the shuffle was the fact that the Wizards (32-26) also jumped over the Pacers (31-36) in the standings. Going into the game, the Pacers had a half-game lead, and now after the 133-132 overtime loss, they are the ones a half game back.
With just five games left for the Pacers and four games left for the Wizards, there is very little time to move up or down the standings. Every game is critical.

The Indiana Pacers are currently in a battle on Thursday evening with the Atlanta Hawks that has significant implications for the remainder of their season. A loss for the Pacers could lead to the Wizards jumping ahead of them to claim the ninth seed or the Raptors being just 2.5 games behind them in the standings (Wizards and Raptors are currently playing).
The Hawks, on the other hand, are one of the best teams in the NBA this season, and a win for them on the evening would move them into the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and have them jump the New York Knicks in the standings.
