The only curiosity in this one, with the Minnesota Timberwolves looking the part of sad-sack outfit with an eight-game losing streak coming into Arco Arena, was whether or not Tyreke Evans was going to collect his second triple-double in three games—and the second of his career.

With 6:04 left and ahead 105-79, Kings coach Paul Westphal pulled his rookie guard a rebound shy of the magical mark. Evans was still the player of the game with 29 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists, making 10-of-19 shots, all seven of his free throws and turning it over just twice. Evans, the NBA's leading candidate for Rookie of the Year honors, had 12 points in the first quarter and 24 points at the half, including two three-point plays on driving lay-ups late in the second quarter.
