Omri Casspi scored 16 of his career-high 31 points in the third quarter and the Sacramento Kings beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-111 on Tuesday night.

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.

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.

Derrick Williams added 18 points off the bench and made a 19-foot jumper with 3:25 remaining after Minnesota had trimmed a 19-point deficit to 106-100.

Kevin Martin matched his season high of 37 points and had eight assists for the Timberwolves.
