The Atlanta Hawks (43-10) have more wins than the Minnesota Timberwolves (11-41) have losses. That’s saying something.
Minnesota’s three-game win streak was snapped by Atlanta on Monday night at Target Center. Final score: 117-105.
But the funniest part of the day was the back-and-forth between the polar opposites on Twitter. It all started with a coded messaged the Wolves delivered to the Hawks using song titles. Read all of the track titles from top-to-bottom to read the message.
Hey @ATLHawks, we couldn't help but notice that you enjoy making playlists, so we went ahead and made you this <3 pic.twitter.com/lqzbCAUrmH

The Hawks, who are known for having one of the most creative Twitter accounts in the NBA, responded with a funny meme of Shia LaBeouf vigorously applauding the effort.

The night ended with one final exchange, started by Atlanta dropping the “All We Do Is Win” playlist.
