Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Smart challenge by Finch here, definitely a close call. Can make the case Rozier landed in Brown’s space. Officials taking a while to review it, probably a good sign for the Wolves? – 7:15 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
Mark Williams fouls out setting a screen. It was on the other side of the floor from where I’m sitting, but it looked weak. – 7:10 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Feels like Charlotte need to find Hayward when things slow down into the half court again. He had it going in the 2nd quarter but has been quiet this half – 6:58 PM
Kenny Beecham @KOT4Q
The Wolves are running the first real minutes with Gobert, Towns, and Reid on the court together.
Things like this is why i love basketball – 6:55 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Finch going with the 3 bigs: Gobert, Towns and Reid. They’ve been the three best players tonight for Minnesota. – 6:52 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
James Harden during the past decade has almost always played the majority of 1Q minutes. Today he played 5 1Q min. and came back with largely reserves in 2Q, and Lue said it was to help “James be James.” Lue felt Harden was more comfortable. Praised way he got into the paint. – 6:49 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the third quarter, the @Timberwolves lead 88-87.
Reid leads the way with 21 points on 9-13 shooting, his 2nd 20+ point game of the season (17th career).
Gobert is up to a season-high 20 points on 9-11 shooting and 8 rebounds, his 94th career 20+ point game. – 6:44 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Wolves held the Hornets to 10 points in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd, but Charlotte scored 18 over the final 6 to keep this very much a ballgame. Wolves transition defense has been terrible. – 6:44 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Kyle Anderson takes a spill in transition and gets up holding his left hip. Staying in to shoot the free throws. – 6:41 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Charlotte hammering the Wolves in transition. That last bucket didn’t register as fast-break points, but it basically was. Overall, Hornets have a 16-0 edge in that stat, and they lead 76-75. – 6:34 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
I think the perception of Naz Reid is that his foot speed can sneak up on some bigs, when in reality it’s that very few bigs, even 4s, can keep up with him off the bounce.
Just cooked PJ Washington in the first half… pic.twitter.com/i3zjFVPlpC – 6:13 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
You can’t tell me the Hornets defense doesn’t look worse when the other team only has <10 seconds on the shot clock. – 6:04 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Wolves gave up the lead momentarily but take a 62-59 lead. The tighter whistles didn’t help them that quarter (Charlotte was 11-for-13 at the line), but shot centests weren’t always there either. Hornets post 36 in the quarter. – 6:04 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
Halftime: Timberwolves 62, #Hornets 59
Gordon Hayward 15 pts
Miles Bridges 13 pts, 2 asts
Terry Rozier 10 pts, 4 asts, 3 rebs
Brandon Miller 7 pts – 6:03 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
Mark Williams hits a pair of free throws to give the #Hornets their first lead. Less than a minute left in the first half. – 6:01 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Big second quarter for Gordon Hayward, he’s up to a team high 15 points. He’s struggled as of late, but he’s found something so far tonight – 6:01 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Charlotte opened the second by hitting 8 of its first 11 and going 7-8 at the FT line. Wolves clinging to a 2-point lead. Conley with an attempt at converting a Conley after this timeout (hitting all three FT attempts after shooting a three). – 5:54 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
PJ Washington appears to have banged his right knee setting a screen and is gimpy. He waived trainer Joe Sharpe off once he got to the bench, though. – 5:51 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Nickeil Alexander-Walker was 14 of 23 (61%) from midrange on the season entering tonight’s game — the highest midrange percentage of any wing that has taken 10+ midrange shots.
The one he hit early tonight — adding to that percentage — is a good representation of how he… pic.twitter.com/ClB0mOosOi – 5:51 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Much improved defensive organization to close the 1st quarter and cut into Minnesota’s lead.
Miles Bridges and PJ Washington dig in well on the Gobert rim dive to force the turnover pic.twitter.com/dLtSfRvJlx – 5:37 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the first quarter, the @Timberwolves lead 30-23.
Gobert leads the way with 8 points and 3 rebounds, his most points in a first quarter this season.
Towns is up to 7 points and 2 assists, while Conley has 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. – 5:33 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
End of first Q: Timberwolves 30, #Hornets 23
Miles Bridges 7 pts
Terry Rozier 5 pts, 2 asts
Hornets are 10 for 26. Minnesota is 13 of 20 – 5:32 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Charlotte was the place around this time last year where D-Lo said about Rudy, “He catch the ball, he’ll score.” That whole process of finding Rudy in the offense looks night and day compared to that point last year: 4-5, 8 points, and a 12 points Wolves lead. – 5:27 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
KAT just found Gobert on the lob while running a traditional high quad pick and roll, only this is a traditional pick and roll with two centers — something we’ve started seeing more and more of as the season has gone along.
Here’s Chris Finch went asked about that action after… – 5:23 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Plays like this are why Charlotte are a train wreck defensively.
Terry Rozier not in a stance and blown by. There’s 4-5 of these plays every night, you just can’t do that and expect to win game consistently pic.twitter.com/AuolH5b5jc – 5:20 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
Of the Timberwolves 16 points, 10 have come in the paint. #Hornets have no answer inside and Steve Clifford needs a timeout. – 5:18 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
KAT is in his bag, as the kids say, early on here in Charlotte. Wolves lead 16-8. KAT with 7 points, 2 assists. – 5:18 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
First quarter: Warriors 33, Clippers 22
It featured a change to Lue’s substitution pattern by bringing Harden out first after 5 min. instead of having him play his usual full first quarter. Curious if we’ll see Harden paired with reserves, perhaps as strategy to get him going. – 4:36 PM

Top shelf performance by @TexasFootball right down to the last play of putting Jonathan Brooks on the field for the last play. They’re one of the four best in my mind. Now for that trophy presentation….and that little game in Charlotte tonight – 3:42 PM

Rudy Gobert has been added to the injury report day-of. He’s listed as questionable with left hip soreness.
If Gobert misses, curious to see if they add another big to the rotation — and, if so, who that big will be. Luka Garza is up with the team, Leonard Miller is with the… – 11:47 AM
