After Action Report

The Timberwolves held off the Hornets 109-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
