Minnesota at New Orleans

Minnesota must be celebrating. They were down 20 after the first quarter to Indiana, and came charging back to win by 13. It was an exhausting game for the Wolves, who got to celebrate a rare win. The problem is they haven't gotten it done after a win all season. This is a tough stretch for the T-Wolves, as this will be their sixth game in nine days. The Hornets are not going to lay down here as they were beaten soundly by the T-Wolves at home less than a month ago. The one step the Hornets have made this season is to take care of the weaker teams. The loss to the Wolves is their only loss on the season to a team with a losing record. They stand at 10-1 overall. They have a motive, they have a celebrating tired team, and the track record to make this one easy.
