After Action Report

The Timberwolves survived the Hornets 103-100. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
