After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Timberwolves fended off the Hawks 116-108. The breakneck pace played right into Timberwolves' hands. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
