Timberwolves Dominate Kings 144-117 for Fourth Win in Five Games

Anthony Edwards led the Minnesota Timberwolves with 26 points as seven players scored in double figures in a commanding 144-117 victory over the Sacramento Kings. The Timberwolves extended their winning streak in Sacramento to six games.

The team has shown a strong record when playing in California's capital, performing better on the road against the Kings than at home. Edwards contributed 26 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals in the win.

The Timberwolves improved to 6-4 this season with their fourth win in five outings, securing a second consecutive decisive victory. While not as dominant as the 40-point win over Utah on Friday, Minnesota led most of the game, shooting 53.6% from the field with 18 made three-pointers on 46 attempts.

Minnesota also capitalized on 18 Kings turnovers, scoring 37 points off those mistakes.

“Another complete game both ends of the floor,” said Wolves coach Chris Finch. “I thought we were really sharp, which is what we needed to be. Built on the performances of the other day, and it continued into today. Really, really pleased with how we’re starting games defensively.”

This was Edwards’ third game back from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for four games. He shot 7-for-16 from the field, 5-for-11 from three-point range, and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. After scoring 37 points against the Jazz on Friday, he is now 12-for-23 on three-pointers over his last two games.

Summary: The Timberwolves delivered a strong offensive and defensive performance led by Anthony Edwards, showcasing resilience and sharpshooting in their continued success on the road against the Kings.
