The Minnesota Timberwolves fell Monday night at the Target Center in a close battle with the Sacramento Kings 116-114.

Keegan Murray got the Kings (25-24) going with lights-out shooting on his way to 17 first-quarter points, and then it was the DeRozan and Monk show in the second half. Naz Reid was lights out shooting in the first quarter despite wrapping his finger that had him questionable for the game, scoring 16 of his team-high 30 points in the opening frame.

The Wolves lost 116-114 to a Sacramento team that had dealt De’Aaron Fox and acquired Zach LaVine in a three-team trade.
