The Minnesota Timberwolves showcased their resilience with a commanding 125-110 victory over the struggling Charlotte Hornets, overcoming travel challenges and a back-to-back game situation. Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards both scored 29 points, while Julius Randle nearly recorded a triple-double with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. The Wolves executed an impressive offensive performance, highlighted by an early 13-0 run in the third quarter and a late 10-0 run in the fourth quarter, ultimately leading by as much as 22 points.

Strong defensive play and improved ball handling were key factors, as Minnesota limited themselves to just six turnovers compared to their previous game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Although LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 28 points, Charlotte struggled to keep pace with the Timberwolves' balanced attack. Minnesota's ability to capitalize on their advantages and perform consistently against inferior competition bodes well as they prepare for their next matchup against the Miami Heat.
