The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the visiting Atlanta Hawks on Monday , 104 - 90 . After a tough Christmas Day loss , Minnesota ( 10 - 21 ) received a confidence boost as it cruised to a win over the Hawks . The team 's young core of Karl-Anthony Towns , Andrew Wiggins , and Zach LaVine all impressed on Monday , scoring 22 , 21 , and 21 respectively . Towns was particularly potent on offense , as the reigning Rookie of the Year shot a perfect 8 - of - 8 from the field , including three three - pointers , and 3 - of - 3 at the free - throw line . Towns made a big impact on the defensive end as well , recording three blocks . The team was immensely successful while shooting the ball , as they hit 15 three - pointers on over 48 percent shooting . Six of those three - pointers came from LaVine , who is having a breakout season and averaging over 20 points per game for the first time in his career . Atlanta ( 15 - 16 ) , meanwhile , has crumbled since its hot 9 - 2 start to the season . Once again , the Hawks looked lost on Monday , entering the fourth quarter down by 24 points . Center Dwight Howard interestingly was also perfect from the field as he scored a team - leading 20 points . Howard also had 12 rebounds and two steals . It was not a good overall offensive night for Atlanta , though . The team shot just 42 percent including 25 percent from three - point range , and had 19 turnovers on the night . On Wednesday , the Hawks will host the Knicks and the Wolves will visit the Nuggets in Denver . It was a big night for Minnesota 's three young 20 point per game scorers on Monday , as all three scored in the 20s once again . Reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 22 points on perfect shooting . Towns went 8 - of - 8 from the field with three three - pointers and shot a perfect 3 - of - 3 at the free - throw line . Meanwhile , Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points each . LaVine had six of the Timberwolves ' 15 three - pointers . As a whole , the team shot a respectable 45 percent . Atlanta shot just 42 percent and turned the ball over 19 times , two issues that contributed to the Hawks falling behind early in the game . Center Dwight Howard traded blows with Towns , scoring 20 points on perfect shooting himself . However , the effort was not enough to carry the struggling Hawks to victory , as the team hit only eight threes and made just 70 percent of its free - throws .
