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.
