Despite coming off a two-game winning streak, the Brooklyn Nets fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves, losing 105-90. The star of the game for the Nets was Nic Claxton, who scored 18 points and contributed six rebounds and five assists against a tough Timberwolves defense. Dariq Whitehead added 17 points from the bench. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 28 points, showcasing his shooting prowess throughout the game, especially from beyond the arc.

Head coach Jordi Fernandez managed player minutes carefully, particularly for D'Angelo Russell, who has been nursing an ankle injury. The Nets' younger players like Keon Johnson and Maxwell Lewis tried to step up, but the team struggled to find their rhythm, especially in the second quarter where Minnesota pulled away. Claxton's consistent performance may be a silver lining as the season winds down, while the team looks to develop its younger talent amidst ongoing injuries.
