After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons snuck past the Timberwolves 129-127. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
