After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the Timberwolves 105-88. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
