The Sacramento Kings (15 - 19) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (5 - 27) 110 - 107 on Thursday. Sacramento broke their two - game losing streak with the win. Derrick Williams moved into the starting lineup in place of Ryan Hollins, giving Kings fans the first significant change in the team's rotation since Ty Corbin was asked to take over the head coach position and start making changes over two weeks ago. Williams should be used with Rudy Gay at the forward positions to help Sacramento stretch the floor and play at a faster pace. He put up 17 points and five rebounds in 31 minutes. The Kings got what they wanted on offense, shooting 54 percent from the field and 42 percent from beyond the arc, but they let the Timberwolves keep it close by giving away 21 points on 20 turnovers. Minnesota has lost ten straight games, but No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins has started to show some exciting improvements. He scored a game - high 27 points to go with nine rebounds and four steals in 40 minutes Thursday, and over his last five games, Wiggins has averaged 21 points and 4 rebounds on 51 percent shooting in 36 minutes per game. Gorgui Dieng helped keep the Timberwolves in the game Thurday, putting up 15 points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes. The Kings will wrap up their road trip against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, while the Timberwolves will stay home to host the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
