(MINNEAPOLIS) – Naz Reid had 21 points and 10 rebounds while Jaden McDaniels added 20 points to help the Minnesota Timberwolves overcome a sluggish start to beat the NBA worst Detroit Pistons 106-91. Rudy Gobert had 11 points and 14 rebounds and Kyle Anderson scored 14 points off the bench to help offset a quiet nine points by All-Star Anthony Edwards for the Wolves (50-22), who moved into a second-place tie with Oklahoma City in the Western Conference after the Thunder lost in overtime to Houston. The Wolves hit the 50-win mark for just the fifth time in their 35 season. Cade Cunningham scored 32 points for the Pistons (12-61), who lost their eighth straight. The Pistons ruled out seven players with injuries, with guard Jaden Ivey the latest to land on the list with a sore left knee. Coach Monty Williams sent out his 34th different starting lineup, with Chimezie Metu taking the floor for just his fifth game with the club and Evbuowman getting the start. The Pistons have used 30 players this season, tied with Houston (2020-21) for the most in a season in NBA history.
