After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Timberwolves 103-97. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
