The Timberwolves had clawed their way to overtime and Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis was on the bench with six fouls.
The Wolves nearly had the Kings in a checkmate, but they broke down in the extra period and ended up on the wrong side of a 118-111 loss. Sacramento got threes from Trey Lyles and Keegan Murray on its first two overtime possessions, then Lyles followed that with a three-point play to put the Kings up 112-106.
The Wolves got back within 114-111 on a Jaden McDaniels three-point play with 59.9 seconds remaining, but they had a breakdown on the next defensive possession that led to a Lyles dunk.
