In that matchup, the T-Wolves were led by Anthony Edwards, who scored 34 points while also hauling down 10 rebounds,

D'Angelo Russell chipped in 25 points of his own to go along with six assists.

"D'Lo (Russell) is staying ready. His catch-and-shoot is really on point. That's big for him, and for us. And, obviously, he exits and Ant is out there by himself and kind of turns it up a notch," T-Wolves coach Chris Finch stated.

Domantas Sabonis lent a helping hand with 23 markers to go with 10 boards and five dimes.

"We can't let teams just run their stuff, get their spots and shoot the ball right over us," Fox said. "You don't want to pick up fouls, but you want to try to be physical as much as possible without picking up silly fouls."

The Kings are leading the league in most team points scored with an average of 119.5 markers per match.

Meanwhile, Sacramento's defensive rating stands at 114.7, limiting their opposition to 116.6 points per match.
