Timberwolves Face Off Against Under-Performing Nets

NEW YORK, NY – The Minnesota Timberwolves will meet the Brooklyn Nets on November 3, 2025, at the Barclays Center. The game is set to start at 6:00 PM CST, and will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network – North and available via the Wolves App and iHeart Radio.

The Timberwolves broke their two-game losing streak on Saturday with a win over the Charlotte Hornets, improving their record to 3-3. Rudy Gobert shined in the second half, helping to dominate the boards, while Donte DiVincenzo, despite nursing a broken nose, contributed significantly to the victory.

Julius Randle showcased impressive play against the Hornets, and his performance will be crucial against the Nets. “This is a game where a serious team makes a statement,” Randle said. Brooklyn is currently winless this season, presenting a potential trap game for Minnesota.

Key for the Timberwolves will be avoiding a lackluster start. The Nets, led by Cam Thomas, who averages 23 points per game, pose a threat if given a glimmer of hope. Minnesota must deliver a strong performance in the first half to build an early lead.

Naz Reid, who scored 18 points in the last game, is returning to his home state, and his momentum will be vital. The wolves will also need effective ball movement to help unlock scoring opportunities and maintain leads.

The Timberwolves players are aware of the importance of this match, not only to boost their record but to gain momentum before they take on the New York Knicks later in the week. The bar is set high as head coach Chris Finch expects his team to keep up the intensity and not overlook their opponent.

Against the backdrop of last season’s performance, the upcoming matchup is more than just another game; it’s an opportunity for the Timberwolves to assert their capabilities and showcase their ambition in the Western Conference.
