Through 3 Quarters

Fans are certainly getting their money's worth as the Atlanta Hawks and the Minnesota Timberwolves have combined for 198 points three quarters in. Atlanta has emerged as the frontrunner and is ahead of Minnesota 103-95.

The Hawks have been riding high on the performance of point guard Trae Young, who has shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and has posted a double-double on 30 points and 13 assists in addition to four rebounds. The Timberwolves have enjoyed the tag-team combination of center Karl-Anthony Towns and point guard D'Angelo Russell. The former has 17 points and seven assists along with seven boards, while the latter has 20 points and four assists. Towns does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.

Minnesota has lost 85% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up
