Eventually. The Detroit Pistons will win games likes Sunday’s afternoon tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves eventually. The young team will learn how to close. They will learn how to stop runs and put their foot on the gas to put the game away. Eventually.
But that day was no Sunday afternoon at Target Center. Instead, a contest that was going back and forth for three quarters saw Minnesota put Detroit away in the final frame and walk away with a 118-105 victory.
Not only is Detroit not a good team, but even when they play well they are not quite talented or experienced enough to deal with winning time.
