After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves survived the Pistons 101-96. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
