GAME RECAP

MVP MIKKI MOORE, NEW JERSEY

Of all the gin joints in all the towns . ... The Nets big man had spread 303 NBA games across eight seasons with seven teams, but he picked Saturday to have his career game. Moore scored a personal-best 20 points, hit all nine of his shots and matched his season high with eight rebounds. Guess the Wolves shouldn't have cut him from training camp in 1997.

THE STAT

37.9 Kevin Garnett's field-goal percentage (25 of 66) over the past four.

JARIC HURTS HAND

Marko Jaric sprained his right thumb in the second quarter and was done after a nine-minute stint. X-rays were negative and he is listed as day-to-day for Monday's game. Coach Dwane Casey said he used Bracey Wright in the second half rather than Troy Hudson because he needed a sturdier body on Vince Carter. STEVE ASCHBURNER
