The Detroit Pistons were able to end their losing streak tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves thanks to stellar play in the second half.
I need to start out this game review by giving props to the Piston’s chrome jerseys. There were certainly mixed reviews on the uniforms, but I love the look and think they need to be worn more often.
For the second time in as many tries, the Pistons played a miserable first half tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Somehow managing just forty five points in the first half, the Pistons were still up by eight points as the Timberwolves looked like a team on the road on the back end of a back to back.
The Pistons took a commanding lead in the third quarter, leading by double digits for much of the frame. When the Wolves got the lead down to eleven with just over 7 minutes left, the Pistons stretched the lead to 25 within 3 minutes after bringing the starters back in. Overall, the Pistons outscored the Timberwolves 70-53 in the second half.
This was a much needed win for the Pistons tonight, as they are in a dogfight for a playoff spot in the East.
