After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves outlasted the Hornets 99-93. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
