A late push by the Wolves on Thursday night came up short as they fell to the Hornets 113-106 in Charlotte. It was a back and forth game, and the Wolves led by as many as eight in the first half, but a solid defensive performance by the Wolves dropped off in the fourth quarter and they weren’t able to generate enough offense to keep up with a phenomenal game from Kemba Walker.
Andrew Wiggins played very well on Thursday night, finishing with 20 points on eight-of-fifteen shooting. Karl-Anthony Towns had a relatively quiet outing, scoring just 21, but added 16 rebounds and six assists.
