Sprewell had 34 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Timberwolves, who beat the Sacramento Kings 86-74 Friday night to take a 3-2 lead in their conference semifinal series.
Game 6 is Sunday in Sacramento. Game 7 if necessary, would be Wednesday in Minneapolis. But the Kings will have to shoot and play a lot better if they want to force a Game 7.
Brad Miller was ejected late in the third quarter without scoring, and Chris Webber labored for 13 points on 5-for-16 shooting. Leading scorer Predrag "Peja" Stojakovic disappeared once again, going 0-for-4 in the second half and finishing with 12 points for the Kings.
Sacramento's much-celebrated offense missed two-thirds of its shots -- going 27-for-81.
Kevin Garnett wound up with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
