Timberwolves' bad habits re-emerge in 110-108 loss to Hornets

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After a brief cameo from the team they could be on Wednesday night, the Timberwolves morphed back into the team they were for much of the season against the Hornets in a 110-108 loss on Friday.

The Wolves relinquished a 10-point lead at halftime in a disastrous third quarter in which Charlotte outscored them 39-21. The Wolves made a push to cut that lead to one in the fourth quarter behind 20 points and 10 assists from D'Angelo Russell, but they couldn't come all the way back and their five-game win streak is over.

Kelly Oubre Jr. had 28 points for the Hornets, who were without injured guard LaMelo Ball and entered the night as one of the worst shooting teams in the league.
