After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Timberwolves 114-109 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
