ATLANTA – There were times the Timberwolves tried to relinquish a 28-point lead in the second half Monday.
But the adults in the room — Mike Conley, Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert — wouldn't let the rest of the team give away an easy win. The Wolves prevailed 136-115 over the Hawks and kept Atlanta from making it too interesting down the stretch. The Hawks got as close as 13 points, but each time it looked like Atlanta might make a run, Conley, Anderson or Gobert made a play.
Anderson finished with a picturesque stat line for what he can bring to the Wolves — 14 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. Conley had 21 while Gobert had 14. Anthony Edwards had 32 in his return to his hometown.
