Sebastian Vettel was the surprise pacesetter in second practice for the Mexican GP ahead of Mercedes Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton set laps 0.004 and 0.013 seconds shy of Vettels early benchmark but was unable to dislodge the Ferrari from the top of the timesheets.Ferrari havent won a race in over a year and had only previously headed a Friday timsheet this season at the Chinese GP in April. We had a very good day, Vettel told Sky F1. Lewiss lap didnt look particularly good so I think he has more in the pocket, so tomorrow we need to be realistic.But perhaps more significantly world championship leader Nico Rosberg, who will secure the title if he wins this weekend and Hamilton finishes 10th or lower, struggled and was almost half a second slower than Vettel and Hamilton on his qualifying simulation.Earlier in Practice One, Rosberg had been nearly eight tenths slower than his Mercedes team-mate and championship rival when they both ran on medium tyres and Hamilton was fastest from Vettel. This years event is only the second Mexican GP staged since the race returned to the calendar twelve months ago after a 20-year absence.The track is feeling better than it did last year and I feel a lot more comfortable in the car than I did the first time we came to this circuit, said Hamilton.Rosberg narrowly avoided hitting the wall when he ran wide during his first Practice Two supersoft lap but had already been slower than both Vettel and Hamilton in the first sector.We have a lot of homework to do tonight, the German admitted. Ferrari seemed very quick, so they will be a big threat.Mexican GP talking pointsThe session saw a large divergence on tyre strategy as the field grappled with the tricky Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit. Although featuring a series of long straights, the tracks corners are almost invariably slow, a configuration which appears to have at once both highlighted the weakness of the Red Bull package and nullified its aerodynamic strength.Having emerged as Mercedes closest rivals since the summer break, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen lacked the pace of both the Silver Arrows and Ferrari and ended the day just fifth and seventh respectively, split by the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg. The lap time of the Renault-bound Hulkenberg was all the more impressive for being set on soft tyres and nearly a second better than the best effort of his team-mate Sergio Perez.On an afternoon to forget for the two Mexicans in the field, Perez was just 15th while compatriot Esteban Gutierrez, fighting to keep his seat at Haas for 2017, was last. For McLaren, still aiming to end the year as the fourth-fastest team, Fernando Alonso just snuck into the top 10, two places ahead of Jenson Button.

Repetition builds habits. When you see things happen in a game, it slows everything down.Zack LaVine added 17 points and Ricky Rubio had nine points and 12 assists for the Timberwolves, who snapped a four-game losing streak and avoided being swept by the Hornets for the third straight season.We came back and really made some really winning plays down the stretch, LaVine said. Thats what happens when you keep fighting. Weve been fighting the last four or five games and been in those positions but we got over that hump. It feels good. Now we need to keep it going.Towns, a dominant force on the glass all night, had six points in overtime, including a backbreaking follow off a missed shot with 21 seconds left to put the Timberwolves up by six. Towns sealed the victory with two free throws with 3.9 seconds remaining.Charlotte appeared on its way to its fourth win in five games, leading 104-97 with less than one minute to play.But Minnesota battled back to tie the game in regulation with LaVine, Rubio and Wiggins all hitting 3-pointers in the final 39 seconds. Wiggins pull-up from 31 feet in transition with 8.9 seconds tied the game at 106.The Hornets had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but Kemba Walker missed everything on a step-back 18-footer at the buzzer.There were a lot of mistakes on the defensive end and we gave up some big baskets, Walker said. We missed some rotations and we have tto be better down the stretch.ddddddddddddWalker led Charlotte with 22 points and eight assists. Frank Kaminsky had 21 points and Nic Batum had 15 points and 12 assists.TIP-INS:Timberwolves: Wiggins and Towns were a combined 22 of 42 from the field. ... Blocked 10 shots.Hornets: The Hornets have given up an average of 16.5 points per game in the first quarter in the last two games, compared to a season average of 27.1 points. ... Cody Zeller had four blocks.STRONG OT STARTThe Timberwolves took advantage of the momentum they had built at the end of regulation, opening overtime with a 7-0 run.You know, it always looks better when the ball is going in, Thibodeau said. When were getting the right shots and sharing the ball, everything looks a lot better. Obviously, playing from a lead is important and we havent been doing that.NOT PHYSICAL ENOUGHHornets coach Steve Clifford said he was especially disappointed with this loss because the team had emphasized getting its defense set and physicality in terms of blocking out.They crushed us with the block outs in the fourth quarter, Clifford said. They had at least four that might have led to nine points. That cant happen. Its been discussed and weve watched it and the reality is we either going to become a more physical group or were not going to win -- at least not every night.TOWNS PASSES GARNETTTowns established a new Timberwolves record with his 27th straight game with at least one blocked shot. He had two blocks against the Hornets.UP NEXT:Timberwolves: Minnesota returns home Tuesday to face the NBAs best road team in San Antonio.
