Later, the Timberwolves scored the last 12 points of the quarter for a 78-66 lead.

Anderson got the run going with back-to-back buckets, including a three-point play.

He then assisted on an Edwards layup. Alexander-Walker scored the last five points on a short-range jumper and a 3-pointer off a Gobert pass.

Flynn ended that run with a foul-line jumper 49 seconds into the second half. Mike Conley answered with a 3-pointer.

Alexander-Walker made it 87-72 with 8:22 remaining on another 3-pointer. The Pistons never got closer than 11 points the remainder of the game.
