Once the fourth quarter commenced, Drummond was but a spectator to some spectacular shooting from his teammates. Three’s from Luke Kennard and Langston Galloway opened the quarter, along with a few buckets and a flagrant foul from Minnesota took the game out of reach and the Pistons sailed to a 17-point victory.

Drummond (31 points and 15 rebounds) out performed the phenom of Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points and 4 rebounds). Despite the national spotlight and obvious talent of Towns, Drummond can show just how good he can be against the leagues best centers. Drummond has a rare talent for rebounding and his eight offensive rebounds outperformed the entire Timberwolves team.
