Mike Bibby had 15 points and a playoff-best 12 assists for the Kings. Webber scored six points over the final 3:20, quashing the Timberwolves' hopes for a third straight last-minute victory.
Game 5 is Friday night in Minnesota, where the clubs split the first two games of the series. Game 6 is back in Sacramento on Sunday.
Kevin Garnett had 19 points and 21 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who made 24 turnovers while losing in Sacramento for the first time in four games this season. Minnesota's Big Three — Garnett, Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell — combined to shoot 17-for-48 as both teams' defenses dominated.
Predrag "Peja" Stojakovic, of Serbia-Montenegro, the NBA's second-leading scorer in the regular season, had yet another terrible shooting game, missing eight of his first nine shots and rarely asserting himself in the Kings' offense. Stojakovic, Bibby and Doug Christie combined to shoot 7-for-31 for the game, getting just one basket in the fourth quarter.
