In Minnesota, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Pistons 121-116. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Pistons. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
