It totally has to do with team chemistry, experience, and mental toughness.
Atlanta may have a young team as well, but they've been together for far longer than the Wolves have. They know their gameplan, they know how to adjust, and most impotantly, they understand their roles on the team.
The Wolves are still figureing that out. And I have to say, I think it'll be a while before they can break out of that funk. Why? I think it's because once you start colapsing late in games, it gets into your head, and you start worrying about it. That's the mental toughness part.
Lastly, the Wolves lack scoring options. They've got Big Al. They've got McCants. Not much more. Walker gives them a nice boost but is not someone who is in the future plan for the Wolves. So, as the Wolves develop and add more talent via the draft, trades and free agency, I would expect them to get better at all these things. But it takes time. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wolves struggle to win 20 games this year.
