After Action Report
In a track meet, the Timberwolves handled the Hawks 115-100. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
