Russell Westbrook Climbs All-Time Scoring List as Kings Endure Sixth Straight Loss
Sacramento Kings star guard Russell Westbrook achieved a significant career milestone on Sunday, surpassing Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers John Havlicek (26,395 points) and Paul Pierce (26,397 points) on the NBA's all-time scoring list. The 37-year-old, now with 26,406 career points after a 14-point performance against the San Antonio Spurs, is just 90 points shy of Tim Duncan for 17th all-time. However, Westbrook's historic achievement was overshadowed by the Kings' ongoing struggles, as they suffered their sixth consecutive defeat, a 123-110 loss to the Spurs. The Kings, now 3-11, never held a lead in the game and allowed San Antonio to shoot over 50 percent from the field.
