Wolves record: 14-53
From the Associated Press:
Rookie Tyreke Evans had 29 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 114-100 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night.
Evans, who recorded his first career triple-double Wednesday against Toronto, scored 24 points in the opening half to help Sacramento assume a 64-49 lead. The Kings scored 15 unanswered points in the first five minutes of the third quarter, including 11 from streaky-shooting Donte Greene, to push the lead to 30.

Minnesota’s big man Kevin Love, who has averaged 17 points and 14 rebounds in two games against the Kings this season, missed his second consecutive game on Sunday night with a sprained left foot. Darko Milicic did not play due to flu-like symptoms.
Minnesota has now lost nine consecutive games and 15 of its last 16. The current streak is the second longest drought of the season. The club dropped 15 straight games in November.
The Timberwolves shot just 39.6 percent in the first half, a number that would have been far worse had it not been for the 8-for-12 shooting of forward Al Jefferson who finished the half with 18 points.
