After Action Report
The Hawks rolled past the Timberwolves 129-106. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
