After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Timberwolves 132-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
