After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Timberwolves 98-97. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
