Spencer Dinwiddie's dunk got the Nets within 117-113 with a minute remaining but Napier secured Minnesota's first home win since Nov. 13 by hitting a 3-pointer with 42.4 seconds left and a free throw with 22.8 seconds left to push the lead to 121-113.

Napier shot 8 of 18, hit three 3-pointers and handed out eight assists as Minnesota beat the Nets for the second time in overtime this season. Minnesota also won for only the second time in its last 14 games overall with both wins coming in overtime.
