If a basketball player scores 10 points in at least two of the above categories in a single game, a double-double is recorded. If, for example, a player scores 10 points and commits 10 steals, and all other indicators are 0, a double-double will still count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a triple-double in basketball?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A triple-double is basically the same term, the only difference being that 10 points should be scored in 3 categories instead of 2. The seemingly simple distinction on paper is actually quite different in game terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while a double-double is an everyday occurrence, especially for team leaders, a triple-double usually counts as a very serious achievement, and even the NBA&#8217;s biggest stars don&#8217;t achieve it in every championship game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In basketball, there are several basic statistics that count separately for players.
