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.
