After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Timberwolves outlasted the Hawks 105-93. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Hawks. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' positional balance gave them a synergy edge. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
