After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Hawks 114-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
