After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Timberwolves 85-76. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Timberwolves' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
