Anthony Edwards had 36 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the short-handed Sacramento Kings 130-126 in overtime on Friday night despite a franchise-record 60 points from De'Aaron Fox.

Fox had 26 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, but it wasn't enough for a Kings team without DeMar DeRozan lower back tightness and Malik Monk ankle. Julius Randle had the go-ahead basket on a driving layup with under a minute to play to put the Timberwolves ahead by two.

Minnesota made its first four shots in the extra session - including five straight by Edwards after Fox opened the scoring with a 3-pointer.

Randle added 26 points, and Naz Reid had 16 for Minnesota. Domantas Sabonis added 23 points and 12 rebounds for Sacramento.

The Timberwolves gave up a 20-point lead in the second half after the Kings began the fourth on a 14-0 run. Fox had 21 points in the first half, but Minnesota led 62-54 after jumping out to a double-digit advantage in the first quarter.
