Kings' Rondo records 3rd triple-double in 4 games

Sacramento Kings point guard Rajon Rondo is back to being the triple-double machine he was in his prime days with the Boston Celtics.

The 29-year-old notched his third triple-double in four games Friday night in a 111-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Sleep Train Arena.

Rondo finished the game with 23 points on 10-of-19 shooting in 43 minutes of action. He also grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 14 assists.

The franchise record for the most triple-doubles in a season since the team moved to Sacramento is five, by Chris Webber in 1999-2000 - a record Rondo is well on his way to beating.

Rondo's Triple-Double Run

The Kentucky alumnus had only three all of last season, in 68 games split between the Celtics and Dallas Mavericks, tying him with Michael Carter-Williams, and Evan Turner for third overall.

Through his first 10 games for the 3-7 Kings, Rondo is averaging 13.1 points, 9.1 assists, and 7.1 rebounds, as he takes advantage of a point guard position devoid of the services of Darren Collison, who remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Sacramento will hit the floor next on Sunday night when they play host to the visiting Toronto Raptors.
