After Action Report

The Hornets snuck past the Timberwolves 89-87. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
