After Action Report
The Nets stunned the Timberwolves 104-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
