After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Hornets 120-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
