MINNEAPOLIS — It appears $189 million doesn't go as far as it used to.
In a season already full of lows, the Nets sank to a new one Friday night.
The Nets were destroyed from start to finish by the younger, faster and, frankly, better Timberwolves, losing 111-81 inside Target Center in a game that was over almost as soon as it began.
Remarkably, after their expensive makeover this offseason, the Nets are now 3-9, have lost four games in a row and seven of their last eight, are still missing Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Andrei Kirilenko due to injuries and are alone in last place in the Atlantic Division, the worst division in basketball.
After Kevin Garnett, the greatest player in Timberwolves history, made his first shot of the game, Minnesota (8-6) immediately responded with a 9-1 run and never looked back, beating the Nets in virtually every facet of the game.
By the time the first quarter had come to an end, Brooklyn was already trailing 30-14. The combination of Kevin Love (17 points and 16 rebounds in 28 minutes) and Nikola Pekovic (15 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes) pounded the Nets on the boards and in the paint, where Brooklyn was powerless to stop their opponents once again with Lopez sidelined.
A look across the stat sheet after 12 minutes was beyond ugly: The Nets shot 4-for-19 from the field, committed nine turnovers that led to 10 Timberwolves points and were destroyed in both points in the paint (Minnesota held a 14-2 advantage) and second-chance points (15-3).
The game was such a laugher that the entire starting five for both Minnesota — all of whom finished the game in double-figures — and Brooklyn sat out the whole fourth quarter, after the Timberwolves led 90-58 following the third.
Andray Blatche led the Nets with 16 points, while Joe Johnson added 15, Alan Anderson had 11 and Garnett, playing one of his best games of the season, had eight points and eight rebounds in 22 minutes.
