After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves snuck past the Hornets 119-116 in overtime. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets 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.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
