After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves fended off the Pistons 95-86. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
