The Minnesota Timberwolves faced another tough loss, falling 117-104 to the Atlanta Hawks. After a slow start, the Wolves rallied to take a halftime lead but struggled in the fourth quarter, where they were outscored 35-19.

Garrison Matthews was a standout for Atlanta, scoring 25 points off the bench, while Trae Young led all scorers with 29 points. Despite strong performances from Naz Reid and Julius Randle, Minnesota's inability to close games continues to plague them.

The Timberwolves will look to bounce back against the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day.
