If not tonight, then when?

The Wolves’ losing streak hit 10 games tonight against a Sacramento team that had lost 10 of its last 11 — its one victory inexplicably was over Kobe and the Lakers last week — and had gone so far south the Kings fired Reggie Theus this morning and made Kenny Natt their interim coach.

So the Kings miss their first 10 shots, the Wolves twice build a 10-point lead and Al Jefferson has 22 points by halftime…and the Wolves still trailed by three when Bobby Brown’s buzzer-beater gave the Kings the halftime lead.

From there? Good night.

Jefferson didn’t score again, going 0 for 3 in a third quarter when the Kings produced a 17-4 run and outscored the Wolves 33-17.  Jefferson and every other starter but Randy Foye sat the entire fourth quarter.

After tonight, the Wolves play LeBron and Cleveland on Wednesday, Houston Saturday and at San Antonio next Tuesday. They could go 0-for-December if they don’t win, say, at New York the day after Christmas or beat Memphis at home on the 29th.
