MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Kevin Love put up 20 points and 16 rebounds, his fifth straight double-double and seventh in nine games since returning from a broken left hand, to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Sacramento Kings 112-96 Friday night.



Corey Brewer scored 20 points on 9 for 16 shooting, and the Wolves (5-22) were in front from start to finish for the first time this season, taking advantage of a sloppy, sluggish regression by the Kings, who fell to an NBA-worst 1-11 on the road.


They beat Minnesota in Sacramento by 20 points last Saturday. Love has 73 rebounds in his last five games, giving the Wolves a rugged, bullish presence on the glass they sorely missed while he was out. Brewer came within two points of his career high.
