Charlotte Hornets 104
Minnesota Timberwolves 95
The Minnesota Timberwolves couldn’t make it three in a row, losing to the Charlotte Hornets 104-95 at Target Center Tuesday night.
1. Wolves winless at home
While Minnesota is a perfect 4-0 on the road, they have struggled at home and are still searching for their first Target Center victory after Tuesday night’s loss.
2. No Wiggins, Rubio or KG
For the first time in his NBA career, Andrew Wiggins missed a game. He was out with a sore knee. The Wolves were also without Ricky Rubio and Kevin Garnett as the team was playing their second game in as many nights.
Andrew Wiggins will not play tonight. Starters: Rubio, Martin, Prince, Payne and Towns. #Twolves

3. Hornets bench provides plenty of sting

Cody Zeller contributed 14 points and six boards for the Hornets as well.

So this isn’t exactly Wolves related anymore, but as Kevin Love found out Tuesday, be careful what you Tweet out.
Twitter made Kevin Love's innocent chocolate milk photo look extremely NSFW. https://t.co/njHSqnfL0I pic.twitter.com/rRG6arHNsb
