When the Brooklyn Nets last faced the Minnesota Timberwolves, a March 10 matchup in Minnesota, it was a back-and-forth affair that packed suspense that came down to the final seconds, twice. The Nets took a three-point lead into the final ten seconds of the game, before Naz Reid nailed a bomb at the buzzer to send the game to overtime. Then, faced with a one-point lead in OT, Brooklyn nailed their second chance, and came up with a game-winning stop.
Fast forward to Tuesday night in Brooklyn, and the roles were reversed. Brooklyn, now down three points with under ten seconds left, needed their own big shot to force overtime.
