The high-scoring Bighorns gave their fans a show in the team’s home finale on Tuesday night in Reno.

For the second time in D-League history, two teammates posted triple-doubles in the same game. A feat not accomplished in the D-League since 2007 by the Albuquerque Thunderbirds Tony Bland and Melvin Hodge.

Led by David Stockton (26 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds), Reno defeated top-seeded Bakersfield 131-105.  The triple-double was the Gonzaga product’s second of the season and second since his stint with the Kings in late February.

The 10 boards also ties a career-high record for the former Sacramento Kings call-up.

Coby Karl joined his teammate in the triple-double party, posting his best game of the season with 26 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, recent Kings call-up Sim Bhullar continued his stellar play in the latter half of the season with 19 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks.  Bhullar is currently averaging 10.3 points and a league-leading 3.9 blocks on the season.

The Sacramento Kings D-League affiliate continues to see huge performances from its guards.

Although the past month has been dominated by former call-up David Stockton, Reno's Dar Tucker stole the show on Saturday in Reno.

The DePaul product was acquired by the Bighorns 13 days ago and in only his sixth game with the squad tied the D-League single-game scoring record with 58 points.

Tucker connected on 11 three-pointers and 20 field goals en route to the career night and is now averaging 32.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game.

Kings head coach George Karl's son, Coby Karl also had a big game for the Bighorns on Satuday, putting together one of his best game of the season.

The eight-year pro, who has played everywhere from the Los Angeles Lakers to Pallacanestro Reggiana in Italy, tallied 26 points, 15 assists and six rebounds.

Bhullar also had a strong game against the Texas Legends, grabbing 18 rebounds and scoring 18 points.

The 7-foot-5 center is now averaging 10 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game this season.
