After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Timberwolves 113-78. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
