Nov 4, 2010 - 5:42 AM Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Kobe Bryant notched his 17th career triple- double while setting another franchise record, as the Los Angeles Lakers remained undefeated with a 112-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings.Bryant recorded his first triple-double since January 21, 2009 with 30 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds while becoming the team's all-time minutes played leader, as the Lakers improved to 5-0 for the second time in three seasons.
Coming into the game one minute behind Hall of Fame member Kareem Abdul- Jabbar, Bryant played 37 minutes to surpass Abdul-Jabbar's 37,491 minutes as a Laker.
Pau Gasol added 22 points and 11 boards, while Lamar Odom had 18 points and eight rebounds in the victory.
