Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges led six Charlotte Hornets in double figures, but they couldn’t overcome strong play from the Minnesota Timberwolves bigs as they lost, 123-117.
Summary
The Hornets started the game slowly, as they are wont to do. They dug themselves a double digit hole before they even put their first points on the board. They hemorrhaged points to the Timberwolves big men. They kept pace after that slow start thanks to Timberwolves turnovers and some decent Hornets shooting. It also helped that Karl-Anthony Towns left the game early in the second quarter with foul trouble and didn’t return until the second half.
