SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Tyreke Evans had 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and the Sacramento Kings topped the slumping Minnesota Timberwolves 116-108 on Monday night.

The Kings opened the fourth quarter with an 11-0 run and never trailed the rest of the way. Sacramento entered the game having lost five of six.

The Kings made their free throws in the closing minute to secure the victory and move to 14-12 at home this season.

Kevin Love had 23 points and seven rebounds for the Timberwolves, who lost their third straight and fourth in five games.

Rotating defenders, the Kings played tough defense on Love through three quarters. But the All-Star forward got going in the fourth when he scored 11 points.
