Hornets snap Minnesota's five-game winning streak

A big off the bench contribution by Kelly Oubre Jr. with 27 points including 7 three-pointers gave enough support to Hornets that they ended Minnesota's five-game winning streak. Hornets continue to be in good form winning eight of their last nine matches, they tied with a franchise record of most three-pointers shot, with 23, and shot 57.5% from beyond the arc.

Miles Bridges and Gordon Hayward each scored 18 points while LaMelo Ball scored 10 points and 13 assists as they drowned the 25 point effort by Karl-Anthony Towns and 18 point effort by D´Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley that helped Minnesota mount a fightback against explosive Hornets. In another match, Hawks took down Grizzlies by 132- 100 with Trae Young leading the team with 31 points and 10 assists as Grizzlies were without Ja Morant.
