The Atlanta Hawks suffered a fifth consecutive loss as they fell to a 100-92 defeat over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Monday night.
De’Andre Hunter posted a new career-high of 35 points with Keaton Wallace adding 13 points. For the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards led the hosts with 23 points with Julius Randle adding 20 points.
Heading into the game, the Hawks were left very much up against it as injuries, again, mount for the team. Trae Young (right hamstring tightness), Jalen Johnson (left shoulder injury), Dyson Daniels (left ankle soreness), Larry Nance Jr. (right hand surgery; injury management), and Kobe Bufkin (right shoulder surgery) were all absent for the Hawks through injury, while Bogdan Bogdanovic was a ‘DNP-CD’ last night though this is possibly due to the Hawks having another game ahead of them tonight against Houston.
