Without the services of All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins, the Kings needed someone to step-in and help take on the scoring load.
Omri Casspi took the challenge, shooting 12-of-20 from the field and relentlessly attacking the injury-riddled Wolves backcourt for a career-high 31 points.
No. 18 also connected on 4-of-6 from downtown, while grabbing five rebounds.
“I just felt like I got in a good rhythm – wasn’t forcing shots, trying to take what the defense gave me," stated Casspi following the game.
Rudy Gay returned from injury to record his fifth 30-point game of the season (33) to go along with seven rebounds and five assists.
Sacramento now sits one win away from last season's total with five games to play.
- Ray McCallum set a new career-high with nine rebounds.
- Derrick Williams added 18 points and eight rebounds to lead the bench.
- Nik Stauskas left the game in the third quarter with a mild back strain.
- Sim Bhullar checked-in for the final 16 seconds of the game, becoming the first player of Indian descent to play in the NBA.
- Former Kings guard Kevin Martin tallied 37 points and eight assists.
