After Karl-Anthony Towns' positive coronavirus test rocked the Timberwolves organization Friday, the Wolves carried on with the unrelenting business of playing games Monday against Atlanta.
Without Towns, Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez, who all missed the game under the NBA's COVID protocols, the Wolves continued to struggle, this time falling 108-97 to an Atlanta team that had lost six of seven entering the day. The Wolves have now lost nine of their last 10 as Towns has missed his eighth game of the season.
Both teams played as if they didn't want to win in combining for 43 turnovers, but DeAndre Hunter helped the Hawks do enough to get the win in scoring 25 points.
