The Atlanta Hawks high-powered offense came out a bit flat its last time out. A game against the defensively challenged Minnesota Timberwolves might be what it needs to get back on track. Looking to bounce back from their first loss in two weeks, the Hawks try to beat the Timberwolves for a seventh straight time as they meet Tuesday night at the Target Center.
Atlanta (19-7) is fourth in the NBA in scoring at 105.3 points per game, but was limited to 92 through the end of regulation in Saturdays 101-98 overtime loss to Chicago. The Hawks had averaged 113.0 points in their previous five games, and the defeat was the teams first since a 114-107 loss to New York on Dec. 4.
The Hawks, who havent lost back-to-back games since Nov. 21 and 26, hope their offense can return to form against a Minnesota team that struggles on the defensive end. The Timberwolves (5-23) are allowing an average of 105.0 points, and have let three of their last five opponents score at least 120. In Sundays 122-104 loss at Boston, Minnesota allowed the Celtics to shoot 51.9 percent. The Wolves fell behind by 15 in the first quarter and went into the half trailing 66-41.
