ATLANTA -- At first, Russell Westbrook couldnt get the shots to fall. No problem. He crashed the boards and kept looking for his teammates.Then, he found his shooting touch.The result: another triple-double for the Oklahoma City star.Westbrook scored 32 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 12 assists, extending his streak of triple-doubles to six games as the Thunder held off the Atlanta Hawks 102-99 on Monday night.It is the NBAs longest such run since Michael Jordan had seven in a row in 1989.I just read the game, Westbrook said. The game will tell you what to do.Westbrook has sparked a six-game winning streak by the Thunder and reached double figures in all three categories in half of their 22 games.By contrast, Jordan had 15 triple-doubles for the entire 1988-89 season.Obviously, the league hasnt seen something like this in a long, long time, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said.Westbrook kept his streak alive with plenty of time to spare. He had 15 points and 11 rebounds when he picked up his 10th assist with 6:20 left in the third quarter. Scooping up a loose ball after a turnover by the Hawks, Westbrook led a 2-on-1 that ended with a pass to Victor Oladipo for a layup that gave the Thunder a 69-59 lead.My job is to find those guys, Westbrook said.He found his range in the third quarter after missing eight of his first nine shots. Westbrook knocked down five of seven, three of them beyond the arc, and finished with 16 points in the period as the Thunder stretched a one-point halftime lead to 83-69 heading to the fourth.Atlanta rallied down the stretch, but Westbrook closed it out for the Thunder. He finished with 27 second-half points to send the Hawks to their seventh straight loss and 10th defeat in the last 11 games.Its the longest losing streak for the Hawks since they dropped eight in a row in February 2014.Coach Mike Budenholzer decided to shake things up, sending Kyle Korver to the bench and putting Thabo Sefolosha in the starting lineup. The Hawks also were bolstered by the return of Paul Millsap, who had missed three straight games with a sore hip. He led five players in double figures with 24 points.It didnt matter. Westbrook made sure of that.He can do so many different things, said Sefolosha, who was often matched on Westbrook. Its definitely mind-blowing. And the way he does it. Hes everywhere.Atlanta had a shot to send the game to overtime after Korver forced a jump ball.Westbrook and the Thunder clamped down defensively off the inbounds play, and Tim Hardaway Jr.s desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer failed to hit the rim.Cant dwell on it, Hardaway said. Ive got to move on to the next play, the next game.KORVERS NEW ROLEKorver played more than 31 minutes and seemed to thrive in his new role as a backup.He finished with 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting, knocking down three of them beyond the arc. It was his most points in a game since Nov. 22.Korver had averaged 6.6 points over his last seven games, which led to his benching.MONSTER JAMOladipo wasnt afraid to take on Dwight Howard in the lane.During the second quarter, the 6-foot-4 Thunder guard drove the baseline and slammed one over Atlantas 6-11 center, rocking the rim and drawing gasps from the crowd.Oladipo savored the moment, pumping his fists, stomping his feet and posing briefly in the lane even as the Hawks took off the other way.RECRUITING DWIGHTDonovan made a recruiting pitch to Howard while coaching at Florida.During his pregame chat with the media, the Oklahoma City coach recounted a visit to Howard and his father at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy.Donovan quickly gave up any hope of getting Howard to attend college.All I had to do was watch one AAU game and then I stopped recruiting him immediately, he quipped.Howard, of course, went straight from high school to the NBA in the days before the rules required at least one year of college. He was the first overall pick by the Orlando Magic in 2004.UP NEXTThunder: Off until Friday, when they host the Houston Rockets.Hawks: Back in action Wednesday when the Miami Heat visit Philips Arena.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

MONTERREY, Mexico -- San Nicolas withstood a late rally from Norte Hermosillo to win Mexicos Little League regional championship on Friday night, and will make its first trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, next month for the Little League World Series.San Nicolas, which hails from a suburb of Monterrey,?rode clutch performances and home-field advantage into the championship game against a team it had lost to in the group stage just a few days prior.?Fourteen teams took part in the seven-day tournament. San Nicolas (7-1) won its first five games before dropping the first-place game in the Group A finale to Norte Hermosillo (7-1), which prevailed 8-6 despite being down to its last strike.Laboring through sweltering heat that lingered into the games late-evening start, both San Nicolas and Norte Hermosillo displayed ample hustle in their pursuit for the Mexican regional crown, culminating a weeklong tournament in one of the countrys most avid pockets of baseball fandom.It was the second consecutive year that a team from the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora was denied in the final qualifying game.?Sonora has produced major leaguers past and present such as Fernando Valenzuela, Jorge De La Rosa, Marco Estrada and Erubiel Durazo.?Despite its big league pedigree, however, Sonora has never produced a Mexican Little League region champion.Norte Hermosillo had allowed just 14 runs in its first seven games, but an early outburst by San Nicolas put the home team ahead 4-0 after two innings. It would never relinquish that lead, despite a late rally during which Norte Hermosillo scored five runs in the last four innings.Eleven-year-old Lauro Nuncio powered San Nicolas both at the plate and on the mound. Nuncio pounded a solo home run in the third inning and provided relief by inducing a strikeout with the baases loaded to end the top half of the fifth.dddddddddddd Emiliano Valencia led Norte Hermosillo, going 4-for-4 with a double and scoring twice.Coming into the final inning down by two, it appeared that Norte Hermosillo would repeat its group-stage heroics when it scored to make it 6-5 on a fielders choice. With two on and two out, the result of the final at-bat this time was a groundout to the pitcher that crowned San Nicolas for the first time in its history.These kids have played together all their lives, said Luis Lauro Nuncio, Lauros father and the former president of San Nicolas Little League. My son has played baseball since he was 3 years old with this group, and baseball has given him the best lessons. [On Thursday] he came into save the semifinal. Just a day before, he had given up the losing home run against Norte Hermosillo. I was worried for him, but he taught me a lesson. To see him and his teammates get up from that and rise up just a day later was amazing.San Nicolas had been denied in 2015 in the regional semifinals by a different Hermosillo squad. Its win this year assures the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon its second representative in the Little League World Series in just three years.San Nicolas joins Seoul, South Korea (Asia-Pacific Region), and New South Wales (Australia Region) as the first teams to qualify for this years Little League World Series. San Nicolas, now officially Team Mexico, will face the winner of the Latin American Region in Round 1 of the International bracket.The last Mexican team to win the Little League World Series was Guadalupe, also a suburb of Monterrey, in 1997. Guadalupe defeated Mission Viejo (California) 5-4. ' ' '
