SACRAMENTO, California — Omri Casspi scored 16 of his career-high 31 points in the third quarter and Sacramento overcame a sluggish start to beat Minnesota 116-111.
The Kings gave up 31 points in the first quarter and were misfiring offensively until Casspi and Rudy Gay got going to help Sacramento end its five-game losing streak.
Sim Bhullar, Sacramento’s 7-foot-5 center, made history when he checked in for the final 16.1 seconds, becoming the first player of Indian descent to play in an NBA game.
Casspi went 12 of 20 from the floor and made four 3-pointers, three in the pivotal third quarter. Gay had 33 points, seven rebounds and five assists in his first game back after suffering a concussion last week.
Kevin Martin matched his season high of 37 points and had eight assists for the Timberwolves.
