After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks held off the Timberwolves 97-89. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
