After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Hornets 151-109. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Hornets. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
