After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons snuck past the Timberwolves 99-95. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
