With Rudy Gobert out because of a sore ankle, the Timberwolves defense didn't skip a beat in Saturday's matchup against the Nets while the team's offense continued its struggles from the night before in a loss to Milwaukee.
That meant Saturday turned into a brick-fest, but it was one that'll count in the win column for the Wolves after they eventually took down the Nets 101-86.
Karl-Anthony Towns provided enough offense for the Wolves throughout the night with 28 points on 8-for-17 as the team shot 43% overall. But the Wolves held a reeling Brooklyn team that was playing its second game under interim coach Kevin Ollie, to 34%, 17% from three-point range.
