After a game where Minnesota shot just 6 for 45 from three-point range, they opened tonight 9 for 11 against the Detroit Pistons. While in the end, the Pistons performed better from beyond they arc (50 percent to Minnesota’s 44 percent) it didn’t matter. The duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins proved to be too lethal on both ends of the floor.
Detroit has a serious problem defending. This has been a reoccurring theme in every single recap that we have written. The Timberwolves led by as many as 18 tonight, and despite several quality efforts to re-take the lead, Minnesota would once again put their foot on the gas and overwhelm Detroit.
