After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Timberwolves 103-99. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
