After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Hornets outlasted the Timberwolves 110-97. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
