Through 3 Quarters

The Charlotte Hornets are giving their home crowd exactly what it was hoping to see. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Minnesota Timberwolves as Charlotte lead 101-83.

The Hornets have been riding high on the performance of shooting guard Kelly Oubre Jr., who has shot 7-for-11 from downtown and has recorded 27 points. One thing to keep an eye out for is Nick Richards' foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Minnesota has been led by center Karl-Anthony Towns, who so far has 21 points and six assists in addition to seven rebounds.

If the matchup were over now, this would be Charlotte's biggest margin of victory yet this season.
