What turned into a comfortable 121-99 win over the Hornets in Charlotte moves the Wolves to 2-0 on the season. In recent years, the Wolves have struggled to beat Eastern Conference teams on the road, but they got their second straight tonight behind another monster performance from Karl-Anthony Towns.
This was a game the Wolves should have won given the lack of seasoned talent on the Hornets roster (as well as injuries to Cody Zeller and Nicolas Batum,) and after a poor start to the game, they took over and dominated, refusing to suffer a letdown after their big opening night win in Brooklyn.
