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

The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a commanding 144-117 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night, marking their sixth straight win in Sacramento. Anthony Edwards led the charge with 26 points, supported by six other teammates scoring in double digits.

Strong Team Effort

The Timberwolves (6-4) have enjoyed notable success playing in California’s capital recently, outperforming even their home games against the Kings. This win was their fourth in five contests and followed another decisive victory just two days earlier.

“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.”

Anthony Edwards’ Impact

Playing his third game back after a hamstring injury sidelined him for four games, Edwards delivered a strong performance. He went 7-for-16 from the field, 5-for-11 from three-point range, and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. With 37 points scored in Friday’s match against the Utah Jazz, he has made 12 of 23 three-point attempts across his last two games.

Summary

The Timberwolves demonstrated a powerful offensive and defensive display, maintaining momentum from recent wins and benefiting from Edwards’ healthy return and sharpshooting.

Author’s summary: The Timberwolves leveraged a balanced scoring effort and precision shooting to dominate the Kings in Sacramento, reinforcing their rising form this season.
