After Action Report

The Timberwolves demolished the Pistons 126-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
