After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Timberwolves 118-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · 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.
