After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Hornets 97-96. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
