With Dyson Daniels and All-Star Jalen Johnson inactive in the Twin Cities, a 2nd quarter Timberwolves run outmatched the Hawks' size to bury Atlanta in the forest.

Minus CJ McCollum's 1st quarter heroics, the Atlanta Hawks could have used more conversions from the perimeter, specifically from its bench whom shot 3/15 from distance.

Minnesota entered Monday's contest after losing 3 of its last 4 and revenge on its mind following ATL's drubbing on New Year's Eve at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste grade the new arrivals, Gabe Vincent & Buddy Hield, Asa Newell's debut as a starter, what we learned from the Hawks without JJ and what to look forward to on Wednesday when ATL meets with Charlotte in Queen City.
