MINNEAPOLIS — Rudy Gobert had 25 points, 19 rebounds and five blocks to help the Minnesota Timberwolves defeat the Atlanta Hawks 109-106 and move into a three-way tie for first place in the Western Conference. Minnesota is even with Denver and Oklahoma City atop the conference with one game to play. The Timberwolves hold head-to-head tiebreakers over both teams, but the Thunder would win a three-way tiebreaker for the top spot. Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns scored 11 points in his return after missing 18 games with a knee injury. Trae Young led Atlanta with 19 points.
