After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Hornets snuck past the Timberwolves 99-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
