After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Timberwolves 98-91. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
