In an intense clash on Sunday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves triumphed over the Detroit Pistons, 123-104, thanks to standout performances from Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards, who scored 26 and 25 points, respectively. The game was marred by a second-quarter brawl that resulted in the ejection of five players and both head coaches. Despite the skirmish, Rudy Gobert dominated on the boards, securing 25 rebounds along with his 19 points, aiding Minnesota's victory for the third time in four outings.

Detroit, led by Malik Beasley’s 27 points, faced a setback as they lost their rhythm after injuries and ejections left them short-handed. The Timberwolves took control in the third quarter, outscoring the Pistons 38-23, with Edwards showcasing his skills by scoring 18 points in that period. The Pistons will look to bounce back against Oklahoma City, while Minnesota heads to Denver for their next matchup.
