Minneapolis, Dec 7. – (Adnkronos) – Magical evening from the arc for the Hawks (13-12), who achieved their franchise record with 25 triples to sign and go through 121-110 on the Minnesota field (11-13) despite being in the second match of a back-to-back, after losing at home to Charlotte. The guests start strong with 9 triples in the first quarter and never look back, set in motion by 29 points with 11 assists by Trae Young and drawing the wildcard of 23 points by Timothe Luwuwu-Cabarrot (7 triples, maximum in career). The best Danilo Gallinari of the season also signs up for the three-man shooting festival: 20 points with 7/10 shooting, including 4/6 from the bow for the blue in less than 24 minutes of play, also adding 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 recovery and 1 blocked on his performance.
Atlanta, who has tried 49 shots from outside (maximum of the season), has totaled 31 assists out of 40 goals scored, moving the ball as coach McMillan wants. Without D’Angelo Russell struggling with a right ankle problem, the Timberwolves have found Karl-Anthony Towns who missed the last one with a back injury. The center was immediately the protagonist with 31 points and 16 rebounds followed by 24 by Malik Beasley (all in the second half) and 20 by Anthony Edwards, but they were overwhelmed by the hail of triples of the opponents.
