With Minnesota’s win tonight and losses by the Nuggets and Thunder, the Wolves are just a 1/2-game out of first in the West with a game at Denver on Friday night. – 12:34 AM

Jaden McDaniels last four games: 11-for-23 from 3-point range (47.8%).
Jaden McDaniels previous eight games: 3-for-28 from 3-point range (10.7%). – 12:06 AM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Naz Reid when asked about being in the mix for 6th man of the year:
“That would be huge. It’s something obviously I’m pushing for. But winning comes first, obviously. But I would definitely love to have that accolade under my belt… I think winning should reflect in that as… – 11:50 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Naz Reid on Jaden McDaniels’ play of late:
“I told him after the Denver game, that was huge for him to step up at that point. Ever since then, I think each and every game he’s been stepping up a step higher each time.”
McDaniels’ last 4 games…

Rudy Gobert on getting the chance to play in more blended lineups with second unit players since KAT has been out:
“It’s fun. I love to play with all different kinds of lineups. I like to maximize everybody’s strength and help to make it work. And I think it’s important that… – 11:43 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Kyle Anderson when asked if Rudy Gobert has been the Wolves biggest driver of consistency this season:
“I think so. I think every time he plays well, we win. He does a lot of things that don’t show up in the stat sheet and things that do show up in the stat sheet. So I think… – 11:36 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Kyle Anderson said playing almost exclusively at the 4 now (and no longer at the 3, like he would when KAT was healthy) has helped this rhythm he’s in:
“I think KAT being out and just more minutes at the 4. I think that’s really my natural position. I think I can play the 3 as… – 11:35 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Asked Rudy Gobert postgame about how early in the season there were pretty serious spacing issues on offense, and about how those have largely gone away:
“I think it’s just about the way we play. Kyle, obviously when we’re on the court together we gotta involve him, give him the… – 11:33 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
When I got to Target Center on Wed., without knowing if Cade would play, I decided to follow a game through his eyes, watch his every step.
From his quirky pregame ritual with Jarrett Jack to a 32-point night against the NBA’s best defense, here it is:
theathletic.com/5374179/2024/0…11:06 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Asked Cade if his high shot attempts to start games has been intentional or just a product of how he’s being guarded:
“It’s not intentional. I attack coverages I like. Keep on attacking until they change it.” – 10:38 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cunningham on confidence level: “Same place it’s always been.” – 10:37 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cunningham: “There were some tough shots, times we didn’t move the ball well enough. We have to find ways to make them guard still.” – 10:36 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Almost exactly a year ago, Jalen Williams tipped in a game winner at the buzzer to beat the Pistons in OKC.
JDub hits a 3 to send the game to OT tonight in OKC. – 10:34 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Final: #Wolves 106, #Pistons 91.
Cunningham returns and scores 32, but Detroit drops its eighth straight game.
The good news, perhaps? Washington is up next. – 10:15 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
FINAL: Wolves 106, Pistons 91. Cade finishes with 32 points in his return – 10:14 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
MIN 106, DET 91
If there’s something to take from tonight, it’s that it looks more and more like Anderson and McDaniels are finding their rhythm as the playoffs approach. Very important.
Reid: 21p, 10r
McDaniels: 20p, 4r
Gobert: 11p, 14r
Anderson: 14p, 5a – 10:14 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
FINAL: Timberwolves 106, Pistons 91.
It was a good, close game until Cunningham checked out in the third quarter.
He had 32 points on 11-of-23 shooting.
Flynn: 14 points – 10:13 PM
StatMuse @statmuse
Gobert tonight:
11 PTS

Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
For Cade Cunningham to get 32 against the best defense in the league with this collection around him is really impressive. – 10:06 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Times Kyle Anderson scored in double figures prior to March 8: Eight
Times Kyle Anderson has scored in double figures since March 8: Seven. – 10:00 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cunningham scored 27-or-more points in seven games since the All-Star break. – 9:59 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Rudy Gobert has been getting better and better at finishing around the rim in non-dunk situations. Starting to see him show some touch here and there. – 9:57 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Wolves 87, Pistons 72. Eight minutes left. Pistons have been crushed since Cade checked out – 9:52 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Flynn is keeping it within striking distance until Cade checks back in.
He’s got 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting. – 9:48 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
When asked about facing the Sixers again, the first thing Ty Lue mentioned was keeping Cam Payne in check. He only played 4 min and went 0-for-3, but he is incredibly animated on the bench.
Always been a good vibes guy. Wrote about the “juice” here:
inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…9:45 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the third quarter, the @Timberwolves lead 78-66.
Anderson scores 9 of his 12 points in the third quarter, a season-high for any quarter.
Gobert is up to 8 points and 14 rebounds, while Reid has 19 points and 8 rebounds. – 9:45 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Minnesota ends the third quarter on a 16-2 run and the Pistons trail by 12 going into the fourth. Detroit trailed by two when Cunningham went to the bench. – 9:44 PM

END OF 3Q: Wolves 78, Pistons 66.
Cunningham: 25 points.
No other player has double digits. – 9:43 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons, down seven, get the rare two free throw misses by Ant Man. Minnesota gets the offensive rebound and gets an and-1.
That’s stuff that just kills a team, man. And it happens to this team nightly. – 9:41 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
(*picked a good night to do a “one game through the eyes of Cade Cunningham” story*) – 9:39 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade checks out for the rest of the third with 25 points. Detroit is down by two.
Will it still be close by the time he comes back in? – 9:37 PM
Detroit Pistons @DetroitPistons
Do your thing @CadeCunningham_ 🔥
25 points so far… pic.twitter.com/OSJ0jQSqSS9:36 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade has six straight points and is at the line to get 7 and 8. – 9:31 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Cade: 23 points, 1 assist. He’s gunning tonight, and it’s working – 9:30 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Feels like the first time all season that a Detroit opponent isn’t shooting the lights out from 3.
Timberwolves are 5-24. – 9:27 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Whew. Nasty baseline dunk by Metu. Pistons have responded to every punch so far. Tied at 55 – 9:24 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
This Minnesota defense is always a joy to watch up close and personal. Gaps close so quickly because of the length and instincts they have across the board.
Cade is getting to his spots, but they’ve closed quickly at times. – 9:23 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Cade has more than a few sneaky posters this season. He just added to that collection. – 9:20 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Halftime: Wolves 47, Pistons 45. Detroit took the lead with a 13-0 run before Minnesota responded with a 7-0 run to close the half. Pistons are hitting shots and getting timely stops.
Cunningham: 15 points
Duren: 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists – 9:02 PM

Halftime: #Wolves 47, #Pistons 45.

HAFLTIME: Minnesota 47, Pistons 45.

Flynn: 7 points
Another game with several All-Stars where Cunningham has been the best player on the floor. – 9:01 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Very good news for the Wolves is there are no bad teams in the playoffs. Ant often turns into a Clipper against teams like the Pistons. – 8:56 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Sasser snaps his cold streak with a pull-up 3 in transition to give the Pistons a 43-40 lead with 2:47 left in the first half. – 8:55 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Detroit with the 43-40 lead as the Wolves are bombing away, but missing from 3. (4-for-17). Allowing Detroit to hang around. Wolves only with 10 points in the quarter. – 8:55 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Sasser with a pull-up 3 early in the shot clock. Bottoms.
Pistons lead by 3.
Sasser is only 1-5 to start, but he has five shot attempts in 12 minutes. I like that. More of that. – 8:55 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
No one else does substitutions like the Wolves do…
– Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels just subbed in for Jordan McLaughlin and Mike Conley. Two 6’10 guys for two point guards
– And then a minute later Anthony Edwards subbed in for Rudy Gobert
And this isn’t just because the Wolves… – 8:53 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Brown’s getting some run next to Cade and Duren. Got an open 3 off of great transition ball movement. Pistons down three – 8:53 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
The Pistons managed to stay afloat without most of their starting unit on the floor. They trail by six midway through the second quarter. – 8:49 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons have missed 6-8 points worth of dunks and layups in a game they’re down by three. – 8:46 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Couldn’t have asked for more from that bench stretch. Whittled it to one before that Gobert dunk. Cade’s had a long rest. Pistons down 35-32 with 7:47 left until halftime – 8:45 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Flynn with two big buckets, a 3 and pull-up from midrange. Pistons down 3. Second unit is hanging – 8:42 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Obviously a lot of time left, but Detroit, whether bad, really bad or atrociously bad, has always played Minnesota well.
Down three early into 2Q with many guys out. – 8:41 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
End of 1: Wolves 30, Pistons 25. Cade scored 12 of Detroit’s first 17 points. Detroit survived the stretch without him, shooting 10-19 overall and 3-5 from 3 – 8:37 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Timberwolves lead the Pistons 30-25 after one quarter. Naz Reid with 10 points, McDaniels with 8. Detroit shooting 53% so far to the Wolves’ 57%. – 8:36 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
END OF 1Q: Timberwolves 30, Pistons 25.
Cunningham with a game-high 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting. – 8:35 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
The Pistons could really use a Monte Morris – 8:34 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Flynn, Tosan, Fournier, Brown, Wiseman to close the 1st. This might be the game – 8:29 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade checks out with 12 points in 9 minutes. Detroit has left a few easy points on the board. – 8:29 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Cade’s scored or assisted 14 of Detroit’s 17 points. Welcome back – 8:28 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Wiseman had Ant on him in the post. Tried to move him. It did not work. – 8:26 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Cade couldn’t have gotten a better contest on that last 3 by Edwards. Insane shot. – 8:25 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Cade is on one to start this game. – 8:24 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
The Knicks shot 41% and nailed 19 threes a couple of games ago against Detroit. They’ve already hit 11 (on 15 attempts, yikes) tonight. It’s the second quarter, not even midway through. Franchise record for threes allowed is 24 (earlier this month against New Orleans). – 8:23 PM

Jaden McDaniels breaking out of his offensive slump once and for all would be one of the biggest things that could happen for this team the last 10-ish games. 2-for-2 so far tonight. – 8:20 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Couldn’t ask for a better start from Cade. He has 10 of their 14 points – 8:19 PM

Cade has a quick 7 points after that last 3-pointer. – 8:17 PM
