Match Analysis
Russell Westbrook delivered an NBA-record 204th career triple-double, powering the Sacramento Kings to a 121-116 triumph over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in Sacramento. Westbrook contributed 23 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, notching his first triple-double in a Kings uniform.

Player Performance and Statistics
DeMar DeRozan provided the scoring lead for Sacramento with 25 points, while Schroder finished with an 18-point contribution, including his momentum-shifting fourth-quarter display.
Despite missing stars such as Stephen Curry (illness), Jimmy Butler (back) and Draymond Green (ribs), Golden State found offensive sparks in Will Richard, who tallied 30 points, and Moses Moody with 28. Jonathan Kuminga added 24 for the Warriors, but was unable to convert a crucial shot in the lane as Golden State trailed by three with 24 seconds remaining.

Game Flow and Team Dynamics
The contest, which lost some pregame excitement due to the absence of key players from both squads – including Domantas Sabonis (ribs) and Zach LaVine (back) for Sacramento – saw the Warriors race to an early thirteen-point advantage, powered by Kuminga and Richard’s combined 33 points in the opening half. However, Sacramento trimmed the deficit to five at the interval and seized the lead in the third quarter behind 10 points from DeRozan, entering the final period with a seven-point cushion.
Golden State struggled with turnovers, finishing with 19, including an 8-second backcourt violation to open the fourth quarter, and struggled to establish any late rhythm, allowing the Kings to control the closing minutes.
