SEATTLE (AP) Latrell Sprewell emerged from a shooting slump to score 31 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves ended a two-game losing streak.

Kevin Garnett had 29 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who pulled away in the fourth quarter after taking a four-point lead into the final period. Garnett had 11 of his points in the fourth quarter.

Sprewell shot 11-for-23, including 2-for-8 from 3-point range, after averaging 10.2 points and shooting 34 percent in his previous 10 games.

The Sonics, who lost their fourth in a row, got 37 points from Ray Allen, who missed Sunday night's loss to Detroit because of the flu.

Kings 96, Warriors 92

SACRAMENTO (AP) Doug Christie scored 23 points, Mike Bibby added 21 and Peja Stojakovic had 20.

Christie also had six assists and five rebounds, and Bibby scored four of his points in a key 40-second span with just under three minutes remaining.

With the Kings ahead 83-82, Bibby hit a jumper from the top of the key, then scored on a right-handed scoop layup while driving left. Nearly a minute later, Bibby missed on another drive attempt, but his shot was tipped in by Vlade Divac for a 89-82 lead with 1:23 to go.

Erick Dampier had 26 points and 18 rebounds for Golden State, which had two good opportunities to take the lead just prior to Bibby's late spurt. But both Cliff Robinson (15 points) and Jason Richardson (18 points, seven rebounds) missed drives in traffic on consecutive possessions.
