At 39, LeBron oldest with 3 straight triple-doubles

The triple-double streak is tied for the longest of James' 22-year career, matching the three he had from Nov. 1 to 5, 2019; Dec. 14 to 17, 2017; and March 7 to 12, 2009. At age 39, he is the oldest player in NBA history to record three straight triple-doubles.
Wemby hits another milestone with 50-point game
Prior to Wembanyama, the past three 50-point games produced by Spurs came in overtime outings. David Robinson in 1994 logged the franchise's most recent 50-point performance in regulation. At 20 years and 314 days, Wembanyama is the fourth-youngest player to score 50 points. At 7-foot-4, he's also the tallest to do so.
__________
Wembanyama was 18-of-29 from the field and added 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in 32 minutes en route to becoming the first player in league history with 20 3-pointers and 13 blocks over a three-game span.
