Minnesota Timberwolves held on for a 96-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets

Midway in the fourth quarter, Minnesota was still ahead by ten points, having led by as many as 17 points in the third quarter. Mikal Bridges' short jumper with 3:34 remaining sealed an 8-0 Nets run that put the score at 91-89. With 1:11 remaining, Cam Thomas' free throws knotted the score at 94-94. With two seconds remaining, Bridges was fouled by Jaden McDaniels, which allowed the Nets to tie the game. After he missed the first, he intentionally missed the second, and the Nets were penalized for a lane violation.

Minnesota successfully inbounded the ball and ran out the clock following a timeout. Now, the Nets have dropped three in a row, seven of the previous eight, and twelve of the previous fourteen. Thomas led the Nets with 25 points and Bridges had 21. Nic Claxton finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 14.
