SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Russell Westbrook<\/a> had 23 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds for his NBA<\/a>-record 208th career triple-double, and the Sacramento Kings<\/a> beat the Chicago Bulls<\/a> 126-110 on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Westbrook shot 7 of 17 with three 3-pointers in 35 minutes. It\u2019s 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\u2019s all-time list. <\/p>\n

Westbrook\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Denver center and three-time MVP Nikola Jokic has the second-most triple-doubles in the NBA with 181.<\/p>\n

Rookie center Maxine Raynaud added 26 points and 11 rebounds. Malik Monk<\/a> scored 30 points, Daeqwon Plowden<\/a> had 16 and Precious Achiuwa<\/a> added 13 to help the Kings to their third win in 23 games.<\/p>\n

Collin Sexton<\/a> made seven 3-pointers and scored 28 points off the bench for the Bulls. Josh Giddey<\/a> had a triple-double with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Matas Buzelis<\/a> scored 20 points and Nick Richards<\/a> had 10 points and 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Playing before a half-filled home crowd, the Kings built an early double-digit lead that was never threatened.<\/p>\n

Sacramento outscored the Bulls 68-36 in the paint. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
