The Charlotte Hornets ( 30 - 38 ) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 15 - 55 ) 109 - 98 on Sunday in Minneapolis . The Hornets used a dominating second half to pull away and were led by Mo Williams off the bench . Against his old team , Williams scored 24 points on 10 - of - 16 shooting to go along with four rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes as a reserve . Williams has been moved to the bench since Kemba Walker returned from injury , but it is clear that he remains a key contributor for the Hornets even when coming off the bench . Al Jefferson posted a double - double of 18 points on 9 - of - 20 shooting and 11 rebounds in 33 minutes . Michael Kidd-Gilcrhist came close to a double - double of his own , recording 18 points on 8 - of - 10 shooting to go along with nine rebounds . Kemba Walker was effective on both ends of the floor , as he had 16 points on 4 - of - 11 shooting , 8 assists and six steals in 34 minutes . Gerald Henderson scored 17 points and rounds out the five Hornets who scored in double figures . The win was a big one for the Hornets , as with it and the Celtics ' loss , Charlotte now has a hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference , but only by a half - game . The Timberwolves may have reached the lowest point of their very low season , as they only had eight active players for Sunday 's matchup with the likes of Kevin Garnett ( knee ) , Ricky Rubio ( ankle ) and Nikola Pekovic ( ankle ) all out . However , although it was not enough , seven of those eight players scored in double figures . Gorgui Dieng led the team in scoring , putting up 16 points on 5 - of - 8 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds in 36 minutes . Kevin Martin struggled with his shot , but still managed 15 points on 7 - of - 19 shooting , nine assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes . Gary Neal also left the game with a sprained left ankle and did not return . Up next , the Hornets will travel to Chicago Monday to take on the Bulls , while the Timberwolves will head to Utah Monday and play the Jazz .
