After Action Report
The Pistons upended the Timberwolves 105-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
