After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Timberwolves 132-127 in overtime. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
