After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Hornets 140-112. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
