Russell Westbrook powered the Sacramento Kings to a 121–116 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in Sacramento, registering 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists. This marked his first triple-double in Kings colors, and his 204th overall — extending his NBA record.
Both teams were short-handed due to injuries and illness, but Dennis Schroder rose to the moment, sinking three straight three-pointers as part of an 11–0 surge that broke a 104–104 tie in the fourth quarter. Sacramento remained poised in the closing minutes to secure the first win of their five-game homestand.
