New Jersey at Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS -- Kurt Rambis has been preaching defense to his young Minnesota Timberwolves for two years, for the most part to no avail.

 

Maybe he should reserve a courtside seat for Kim Kardashian every night.

 

Kevin Love had 23 points and 10 rebounds and the Timberwolves played the kind of defense that has been an afterthought in these parts in a 103-88 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Saturday night.

 

Darko Milicic scored 16 points on 8-for-9 shooting and the porous Wolves, who allow more points than any team in the NBA, held the Nets to nine points in the third quarter to win for the third time in four games.

 

"That's how we've got to play," Milicic said. "The first half we didn't show up. Thirty-three points for two quarters, that's great defense."

 

Sasha Vujacic tied a career high with 22 points for the Nets, who have lost five in a row. Former University of Minnesota star Kris Humphries added 12 points and 14 rebounds, but managed just two points and four rebounds in the second half as the Nets fell apart.
