After Action Report

The Pistons ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 122-81. Pistons' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · 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.
