After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Pistons 115-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
