On Monday, Domantas Sabonis showcased his dominance with his NBA-leading 25th triple-double of the season, guiding the Sacramento Kings to a convincing 108-96 triumph over the Philadelphia 76ers. Sabonis' stat line of 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists not only propelled him to the exclusive club of players with at least 25 triple-doubles in a season but also cemented his 54th consecutive double-double, surpassing Kevin Love's previous mark since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976-77. Notably, Sabonis now stands alongside legends like Nikola Jokic, Russell Westbrook, Wilt Chamberlain, and Oscar Robertson in this remarkable achievement.
Keegan Murray and De’Aaron Fox contributed significantly with 23 points each for the Kings, breaking a ten-game losing streak against the Sixers and positioning themselves tied for sixth place in the competitive Western Conference. The Kings' victory sets up an intense showdown against the Dallas Mavericks, both vying to maintain their top-six status and avoid the play-in tournament.
