Charlotte Hornets 110-Minnesota Timberwolves 108

The reaction of the Minnesota Timberwolves stopped in five straight games (10-9 now): 110-108 in Charlotte, in a game that they should have won against a rival without LaMelo Ball, Dennis Smith and a Gordon Hayward who will be low again long-term, now due to a shoulder injury. Depleted, the Hornets (6-14) link two victories for the first time this season. And they do it thanks to a tremendous third quarter: 39-21 against some Wolves that seemed like the ones from the start of the season. Losses, very bad percentages and little attitude, with a defense that was too porous as soon as Jaden McDaniels was charged with fouls.

The lead led to 14 points in the fourth quarter, but the comeback attempt (led by D’Angelo Russell: 20 points, 10 assists) fell short when Wolves failed to finish off the rebound after a Terry Rozier miss and ran out. possession to tie. Rudy Gobert finished with 17 points and 17 rebounds, Anthony Edwards with 25 points and a horrible Karl-Anthony Towns with 19 points and 4 rebounds and a shooting series to forget: 6/22, 1/11 from 3-pointers.

The Hornets held on for victory led by Kelly Oubre (28 points, 6 rebounds) and Rozier (22 and 8 assists). Between the two, 21 points in the decisive third quarter. With that and the work of PJ Washington (who scored the final free kicks) and Theo Maledon’s points from the bench (14) it was enough against some Wolves who shot themselves in the foot, as they have done too many times this season.
