After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Hornets upended the Timberwolves 134-124. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
