The Atlanta Hawks played host to the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves on MLK Day on Monday afternoon, eventually edging away from the Wolves in the fourth quarter to notch the 108-97 home victory at State Farm Arena, which enjoyed a special new court-jersey combination to celebrate MLK Day.
The Hawks — still without Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Cam Reddish, in addition to Kris Dunn — were led by a season-high 25 points from De’Andre Hunter, with Clint Capela adding 23 points and 15 rebounds as all five starters scored 10 or more points.
The Timberwolves — without Karl-Anthony Towns, Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez — were led by D’Angelo Russell’s 31 points.
