After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks held off the Timberwolves 129-120. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
  • Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
