The Sacramento Kings will welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to Golden 1 Center at the Rose Quarter for an NBA game on Monday. The Sacramento Kings won 121-113 in their last game over the Jazz. Jazz rookie Walker Kessler scored a career-high 31 points for the Jazz (35-39). Kessler added 11 rebounds and finished 14 of 16 from the floor. Kelly Olynyk finished with 17 points and 10 assists, Ochai Agbaji scored 20 and Jarrell Brantley added 13 off the bench for Utah.
“We are all fighters,” Kessler said. “Going into this game, we knew that it was going to be a battle. We knew we weren’t going to quit regardless of who was sitting or not. I’m super proud of this team and how we played. Obviously disappointing that we didn’t get the win but it says a lot about the team.” G Jordan Clarkson (left hand strain), G Collin Sexton (left hamstring soreness), F Rudy Gay (low back soreness) and F Lauri Markkanen (left hand contusion) were ruled out before the game. … The Jazz scored 70 points in the paint.
The Minnesota Timberwolves on the other hand won 96-99 against the Warriors in their last game. Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has plenty of confidence in his new-look team’s ability to defend at every position, all over the court, even with the ball in Stephen Curry’s hands and the game on the line. Karl-Anthony Towns hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 11 seconds to play after Kyle Anderson stole a pass by Draymond Green, and the Timberwolves held off the Golden State Warriors 99-96 on Sunday night.
“Defensively I thought we were really, really good,” Finch said. “When you play these guys it puts a lot of onus on your smalls to keep chasing, keep fighting and keep contesting.” Curry tied it at 61 with 5:35 left in the third, only for Minnesota to make a great play moments later: Nickeil Alexander-Walker lunged for a diving save across the half-court line to save a backcourt violation and flicked the ball to Anderson for a 40-foot 3 to beat the shot clock at the 5:07 mark.
Poole’s 3 just before the third-quarter buzzer got Golden State within 77-73 going into the fourth. Gobert grabbed 18 rebounds to go with 10 points for the Timberwolves in their third straight victory following a three-game losing streak.
