MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves were in unfamiliar territory.

 

They were in control at halftime with a big lead.

 

"I was really nervous," said coach Rick Adelman, drawing some laughter after the Timberwolves routed the New Orleans Hornets 115-86 on Saturday.

 

The veteran coach wasn't smiling, though. A night earlier, he watched his team nearly rally from 29 points down at halftime before losing to the L.A. Lakers at home.

 

"I've seen it happen too many times. The Lakers were up 29 on us, it just takes a spurt," Adelman said.

 

This time though, the Wolves -- who've lost eight times this season when leading or being tied after three quarters -- finished off the victory.

 

Dante Cunningham scored a season-high 18 points, Nikola Pekovic added 14 and the Timberwolves stopped their six-game losing streak.

 

Cunningham hit all nine of his shots to set a franchise record for most consecutive field goals without a miss.
