Since then, the Wolves had lost home games to Denver and the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid added 18 points each, Rudy Gobert had 14 points and 15 rebounds and Jaden McDaniels added 14 points for the Wolves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">The Wolves have struggled on defense for much of this young season, but on Saturday they held the Hornets to 39.5% shooting, including 35.7% in the second half (15-for-42). <\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Miles Bridges scored 30 points on 10-for-16 shooting, but the rest of the team shot 24-for-70 (34.3%). LaMelo Ball had 18 points and Tre Mann had 16 for Charlotte, which has lost its past three games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Charlotte ended the first half on a 10-2 run over the final 2:08 to take a 56-50 lead into the break. But the Wolves chipped away in the third quarter, taking the lead for good on a Randle three-pointer following a Rob Dillingham steal with 5:20 to play in the period. The Wolves eventually built a 20-point lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">The Wolves shot 17-for-36 (47.2%) from three-point range and also outscored Charlotte 56-36 on points in the paint. DiVincenzo was 5-for-12, Randle 3-for-6, Reid 3-for-5, McDaniels 2-for-2, Johnny Juzang 1-for-1 and Bones Hyland 1-for-1 from long range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">The Hornets were 13 of 45 (28.9%) from three-point range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 Julius Randle scored 30 points to lead the Timberwolves past the Charlotte Hornets 122-105 on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-266059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
