Kevin Garnett to get more minutes this season

Kevin Garnett mostly sat out the second half of back-to-backs a season ago, but Nets coach Lionel Hollins has no plans to do so in 2014-15, explaining that it's something Hollins never has done unless it was near the tail end of the regular season leading into the playoffs.

Hollins also has said that Garnett's minutes, which dipped to a career-low average of 20.5 last season, are certain to increase during the future Hall of Famer's second season in Brooklyn.
