After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Timberwolves 100-98. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them.
