Bourcier credited his fellow Spartans for making it possible.

sa国际传媒淭he way our team plays allows me to have a lot of freedom on both offence and defence,sa国际传媒� Bourcier commented.

sa国际传媒淪ince wesa国际传媒檙e a smaller team, I get a lot of opportunities to get rebounds, and push the pace for us to have more possessions. The way our offence runs, and the way I play to my strengths, gives me a lot of opportunity to get assists and rebounds.sa国际传媒�

Triple-doubles are rare.

In the NBA, out of 72,798 games played, there have been only 1,242 triple-doubles, just 1.7 percent, where a player scored at least ten points in three of five categories in one game (points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots).

Only 9.1 per cent of all NBA players have recorded a single triple-double, barely half recording more than one, and only 29 with more than 10.
