DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons were challenged by the Minnesota Timberwolves for the second time in the past week. But just like the team’s first meeting on Saturday, the Pistons separated in the second half for another key late-season win.

You wouldn’t have thought this was the third game in four nights for Detroit given the energy they played with. Minnesota didn’t have Anthony Edwards for this one, but it was still a back-and-forth game until the Pistons were able to pull away late for the 113-108 victory.

DETROIT (AP) — Jalen Duren had 22 points and 14 rebounds, Daniss Jenkins scored 26 points and the Detroit Pistons beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-108 on Thursday night as both teams were without a superstar.
