After Action Report
The Timberwolves demolished the Pistons 127-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
