After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Timberwolves 97-90. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
