Timberwolves hit 14 three-pointers en-route to win in Detroit.
The poor run continues for the Detroit Pistons, who have now lost 11 of their last 12 games after the 105-82 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
J.J. Barea had 21 points off the bench, while Nikola Pekovic had 18 points and 11 rebounds as Minnesota heated up from beyond the arc, hitting 14 three-pointers.
Their form on the road had been woeful since the All-Star break, as they lost nine straight games away from the Target Center. However, following their win in Phoenix on Friday they now have back-to-back road wins of more than 20 points for the first time in franchise history.
The Pistons were led by Jose Calderon with just 14 points, and it wasn’t enough to improve on a bitterly disappointing record over the past month.
Minnesota head to Los Angeles to face the Lakers on Wednesday, while the Detroit will hope to seal a much needed win in Toronto against the Raptors on Friday.
