Domas becomes first NBA player to achieve incredible feat in Kings victory originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Another game, another night of Domantas Sabonis setting records.
It’s not just the Kings’ star center making NBA historybut he does so while shooting the ball at an efficient clip.
In Wednesday night’s 122-107 win over the Toronto Raptors at Ora 1 Center, Sabonis finished with 17 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting from the field and 5-of-5 from the free throw line, with 11 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal in 34 minutes. . He was also a game-high plus-16 in plus/minus rating.
Sabonis became the first player in league history to record a triple-double with no missed shots and no missed free throws, along with zero turnovers in a game, per StatMamba.
Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić recorded a triple-double in October 2018 by shooting 100 percent (11 of 11) from the field with zero turnovers, but he missed a free throw (10 of 11).

In his ninth NBA season, Sabonis is already getting started with the new-look Kings alongside star teammates De’Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan.
Through eight games, he averages 20.3 points on 63 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range, with 13.1 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 36.5 minutes — near career highs in all categories.
After missing the playoffs last season, Sacramento is hungry for a playoff spot and a chance to compete with the best in the Western Conference. For now, there are still plenty of hoops to play — and history to make for the Lithuanian great.
