The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Detroit Pistons in a extremely tight overtime bout 129-123. We saw Derrick Rose (33 points) and Blake Griffin (34 points) go head-to-head in this game, proving to Minnesota that Rose can run the court with most All-Stars in 2018.
This game also proved that the Wolves can contend with most teams around the league, showing their resilience in the face of solid talent against the Pistons. Detroit will most likely make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference and lay waste to most of the frontcourts in those standings, so they’re objectively a sturdy opponent.
