PREVIOUSLY, THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES...lost 122-104 in Boston on Sunday. They've won two of their last four games, beating Sacramento 112-96 at home and winning in 110-108 at Utah last week. Three (@Denver, Utah, @Utah) of Minnesota's five wins are against teams with winning records.
A recent hot stretch from Jonny Flynn keeps Minnesota (should Ryan Gomes miss his fifth straight game tonight) from lacking a single active player making more than one-third of his three-point attempts. As mentioned earlier today, the Hawks' defense has been hurt by the rate at which opponents make their three-point attempts. Not that Minnesota is any great shakes when shooting inside the arc. Only Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins are making more than half their two-point attempts so far this season.
Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
