After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks outlasted the Timberwolves 100-93. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
