After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Timberwolves 101-100. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
