After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Timberwolves 132-104. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
