After Action Report
The Timberwolves stunned the Hornets 118-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
