After Action Report

The Timberwolves buried the Pistons 135-105. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
