The Minnesota Timberwolves (20 - 43) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (18 - 45) 132 - 118 on Saturday, setting a franchise record in team field goal percentage with 68 percent from the field. Young and full of potential, Minnesota is looking poised to bring home a second straight Rookie of the Year award thanks to first overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns dominated on Saturday, leading the game with 28 points on 14 - for - 18 shooting. The first - year center also contributed six rebounds and seven assists, putting on a passing clinic against Brooklyn. Of course, this was nothing too abnormal for the reigning All-Star Skills Challenge champion. Last year's first overall pick Andrew Wiggins also had a major scoring performance, contributing 26 points on 10 - for - 14 from the field. The entire team shined in terms of efficiency, hitting shots at a higher clip than any other game in the franchise's history. The Nets gave stars Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young a chance to rest on Saturday night, leading to absolute evisceration at the hands of Minnesota. Young players had the chance to shine, however, as forward Thomas Robinson notched a career - high 17 rebounds in the contest. Bench guard Markel Brown also played a big role, leading the team with 23 points. Defense simply did n't happen for the Nets, however, as Minnesota hit seemingly every shot it took. Brooklyn will visit Toronto on Tuesday. Minnesota, meanwhile, will visit Charlotte on Monday.
