Acuff Shares LeBron's Record

Sacramento Kings rookie Darius Acuff Jr. made NBA history with his performance against the Miami Heat.

The Heat beat the Kings 114-108 in Sacramento. Acuff played 39 minutes. The young guard recorded 32 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. He shot 11 of 21 from the field and hit three of his shots from behind the three-point line. Although he could not prevent his team's defeat, he passed an important milestone.

Acuff joined LeBron James on a list of players under 20 who have recorded 30 points and 10 assists in more than one game, making him the only other player on that list. LeBron James had held the record with three such games. Acuff matched that feat for a second time in Sunday's game. The rookie first achieved it on October 29 against the New Orleans Pelicans, when he scored 34 points and had 14 assists.

In his first 10 games of his career, Acuff averaged 25.9 points, 7.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game. The young player is expected to lead his team again in Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic.
