Coming off their most impressive win of the season, a dominant 133-104 win over the Denver Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Atlanta Hawks, looking to get four games above .500 for the first time this season.
The Wolves have lost all six previous attempts to get four games above .500 this season. This game presented their best opportunity for a win, as the Hawks were without multiple starting players, including Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, Bogdan Bogdanoviu0107, and Larry Nance Jr.
The Wolves came out of the gates strong, going on a 13-2 run to start the game.
