After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Pistons 106-103. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
