Kent Bazemore scored 22 points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:09 remaining, and the Atlanta Hawks rallied after trailing by 11 in the third quarter to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 105-100 on Monday night.
The clutch 3 by Bazemore gave the Hawks a 99-96 lead they did not relinquish. The margin was only one when Bazemore chased down former teammate Jeff Teague for a blocked shot that stood following a replay review by officials.
The Hawks began the night with the NBA’s worst record but have won six straight home games against teams from the Western Conference.
Jimmy Butler had 24 points and Andrew Wiggins scored 18 for Minnesota.
