After Action Report
The Timberwolves shocked the Hornets 108-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
