Minnesota Timberwolves vs Charlotte Hornets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 1, 2025

Julius Randle's 30-point, 7-rebound performance powered Minnesota to a 122–105 road victory over Charlotte, as the Timberwolves leaned into a fourth-quarter surge that ultimately decided the evening. The combined total of 227 landed well below the market total, a testament to the defensive intensity that defined stretches of play despite early offensive pace.

The first half unfolded at a moderate tempo, with 106 combined points split relatively evenly: Charlotte opened with 31 in Q1 to Minnesota's 25, then both teams settled into a 25-point Q2 frame. The decisive shift came after the break. Minnesota erupted for 36 in the third quarter while Charlotte managed just 18, seizing control with a 54-point combined Q3. Charlotte wouldn't recover; the Hornets' 31-point fourth was overwhelmed by Minnesota's matching 36, giving the visitors the 67-point combined final quarter but the decisive advantage already secured.

Miles Bridges countered with 30 points and 8 rebounds for the Hornets, and LaMelo Ball added 18 points with 8 assists, yet it wasn't enough to offset Randle's dominance and complementary scoring from Donte DiVincenzo (18 points) and Naz Reid (18 points). Charlotte's defensive issues—allowing 114.2 points per game over its last five—showed clearly as Minnesota converted the third quarter into separation. The Timberwolves' 122 points on the road represented solid offensive efficiency despite Minnesota's recent 114.2-point average over five games.
