Kurt Rambis knows his first year coaching the young and rebuilding Minnesota Timberwolves is going to be a long one.

He said before his first game that, above all else, he wants to see his players show their fans that they won't quit and will play hard until the final buzzer.

Rookie Jonny Flynn clearly has been listening.

Flynn scored 13 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter to help the Wolves erase a 19-point deficit and Damien Wilkins' putback at the buzzer lifted Minnesota to a 95-93 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.
