After dropping the first of the road trip to the Timberwolves on Saturday, the Kings played much sharper on Monday to get a 118-111 win in overtime. Following the loss over the weekend, Mike Brown questioned his team’s defensive “urgency” after his team allowed both of Minnesota’s stars to go off and let the team shoot over 50% from the field and over 45% from three. In Monday’s game, they answered the call, playing better and sprightlier as a unit, reaching a season-high 15 steals with bustling activity, holding D’Angelo Russell to just 10 points, and keeping the opponent’s field goal percentages to reasonable clips.
