The Detroit Pistons defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 113–108 on April 2 at Little Caesars Arena, a defensive battle that fell short of the Vegas total of 220.5 points. D. Jenkins led Detroit with 26 points while J. Duren added 22, anchoring a Pistons offense that shot 47.7 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers. Minnesota's J. Randle paced the Timberwolves with 27 points, supported by A. Dosunmu's 19, though Minnesota's 44.2 percent shooting and 13 made threes proved insufficient. Detroit's fourth-quarter surge—34 points compared to Minnesota's 28—proved decisive; the Pistons' defense held the Timberwolves to a 111.0 offensive rating while posting a 101.9 defensive rating. Minnesota committed 14 turnovers against Detroit's 12, and the Pistons' rebounding edge of 48–40 provided secondary scoring opportunities. The loss marks another setback for Minnesota's playoff positioning.
