After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Timberwolves 100-94. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
