After Action Report

The Timberwolves outlasted the Hornets 109-98. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Timberwolves carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • 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.
