After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves survived the Pistons 100-98. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
