After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 116-85. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
