GAME RECAP
IMPACT PLAYER
DeMarre Carroll, Hawks
There's nothing small about the game of a small forward who outmuscled the Wolves at every turn Monday with a 26-point, 4-rebound, 3-steal night and outscored everybody but frontcourt mate Al Horford.
By the Numbers
23 Offensive rebounds for the Wolves five shy of the franchise record set twice, most recently against the Lakers in March 1999.
15 Points more Hawks forward Paul Millsap scored Monday than he did Sunday, when he scored four points on 2-for-10 shooting in a loss at Memphis.
23:43 Playing time for Wolves forward Shabazz Muhammad, who played for the first time in a month because of an abdominal strain. He had 18 points and eight rebounds.
