After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Hawks 98-96. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
