It's your friendly, old Wolves beat writer Jerry Zgoda here, taking over in a special guest appearance today and tonight for Chris Hine.
Atlanta is in town for a rare home game during this road-heavy part of the Wolves' schedule. The Wolves had won just two of their first 15 road games before winning their last two, Sunday at Oklahoma City and Wednesday at Chicago.
Last time the Hawks were here, the Wolves were fighting for a playoff spot at the end of March and young star Karl Anthony-Towns delivered a franchise-record, 56-point night.
The Wolves won 126-114 in a game against the Hawks from the troublesome East that they absolutely had to win.
