Bridges scores 34 points, Nets outlast Timberwolves in OT

MINNEAPOLIS — Mikal Bridges scored 34 points, Spencer Dinwiddie came up with a final stop and the Brooklyn Nets outlasted the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-123 in overtime Friday night.

Dinwiddie blocked Mike Conley 3-point attempt as time expired to give the Nets their fourth victory in five outings.

Bridges frequently quieted a raucous Target Center crowd, making 4 of 8 3-pointers and 13 of 24 overall shots. Acquired from Phoenix last month in the deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Suns, Bridges has scored 30 or more points in four of his past five games.
