Timberwolves' late surge only means close loss to talent-rich Nets

NEW YORK – The last time the Timberwolves took the floor in Brooklyn, the state of the franchise couldn't be much different and similar at the same time.

The Wolves opened last season at the Nets with a roster that was over 75% different than the one that took the floor Monday in a 112-107 loss at Barclays Center.

As with any new season there was mystery but was optimism about where the team might be headed. The Wolves came away with a surprise victory in overtime that night for coach Ryan Saunders in the first game of the Gersson Rosas regime.
