FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations on Wednesday night’s 131-114 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Little Caesars Arena
RADICAL 180 – After a sluggish start that verged on disastrous, the Pistons caught up before halftime but could never put any distance between themselves and Minnesota. It took 83 seconds of the fourth quarter for everything to change. A deep Luke Kennard triple opened the quarter, then after Derrick Rose’s runner rimmed out Langston Galloway converted a four-point play seconds later. After another Pistons stop, Ish Smith found Glenn Robinson III cutting for a dunk. Suddenly a two-point Pistons lead had swelled to 11.
