Minnesota Timberwolves play the Sacramento Kings Watch/Listen to Free Live Streaming Online NBA 2014 Game from Sleep Train Arena at 9:00 PM ET
Coming off one of the most surprising scoring outbursts in NBA history, Cory Brewer and the Timberwolves travel to Sacramento on Sunday night to face the Kings.
Brewer, a seventh-year pro with a career scoring mark of 10.0 points per game, erupted for a franchise record-tying 51 on Friday in a 112-110 victory over Houston.
With the Wolves playing without injured star Kevin Love -- whose team record Brewer matched -- the forward finished with the fourth-highest total in an NBA game this season, going 19 of 30 from the field and 11 of 15 at the free throw line.
He eclipsed 50 with a pair of free throws with 1:43 to play that gave Minnesota a 105-103 lead.
"You know how many guys scored 50 in the NBA?" Brewer said. "That's what makes it such a special night because I never in my career expected to score 50. ... There's a lot of good company up there."
Brewer also had six steals to become only the fourth in NBA history to score at least 50 with at least six steals. T
"I was just playing - I wasn't thinking about it until someone said you have 44, you could get 50 tonight," said Brewer, who had never scored more than 29 in his career. "I was like, OK, whatever, then I actually got 50."
The Kings (27-53), who haven't reached the playoffs since 2006, are also looking for anything positive to carry into the offseason.
A rare bright spot has been center DeMarcus Cousins, who will likely finish with career bests in points, rebounds and assists. Cousins scored 32 with 12 boards Saturday against the Clippers but the Kings lost their fifth straight game, 117-101.
Sacramento's defense crumbled in the second half, allowing the Clippers to make 54 percent of their shots after halftime. The Kings were also outscored 25-5 on the break.
"I just hated our defense," Sacramento coach Mike Malone said. "We couldn't get any stops. Defensively, they just got whatever they wanted. It was just layup after layup after layup."
The Timberwolves dropped the first meeting this season but have won two straight, including a 108-97 road victory March 1. Minnesota hasn't won three in a row against Sacramento in the same season since 2003-04.
