SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Russell Westbrook had 23
points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds for his NBA-record 208th career
triple-double, and the Sacramento Kings beat the Chicago Bulls 126-110
on Sunday night.
Westbrook shot 7 of 17 with three 3-pointers in 35 minutes. It’s the
fourth triple-double of the season for the 37-year-old, who moved within
one assist of passing Mark Jackson for sixth on the NBA’s all-time list. |

Westbrook’s triple-doubles are an ongoing record for the
nine-time All-Star and came six days after he ripped into the
Sacramento media for the narrative around the Kings this season.
Denver center and three-time MVP Nikola Jokic has the
second-most triple-doubles in the NBA with 181.
Rookie center Maxine Raynaud added 26 points and 11 rebounds.
Malik Monk scored 30 points, Daeqwon Plowden had 16 and Precious
Achiuwa added 13 to help the Kings to their third win in 23
games.
Collin Sexton made seven 3-pointers and scored 28 points off the
bench for the Bulls. Josh Giddey had a triple-double with 15
points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Matas Buzelis scored 20
points and Nick Richards had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Playing before a half-filled home crowd, the Kings built an
early double-digit lead that was never threatened.
Sacramento outscored the Bulls 68-36 in the paint.
Raynaud (18 points), Monk (14) and Westbrook (10) got the Kings
going in the first half. The trio shot a combined 16-for-29,
sparking Sacramento to a 65-51 halftime lead.
