After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Hornets 112-82. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
