Jalen Duren dominated the glass with 10 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double. Detroit outscored Minnesota 60-43 in the second half, turning a competitive affair into a blowout.
Donte DiVincenzo paced the Timberwolves with 22 points, including five 3-pointers, but it wasn't enough for the injury-riddled squad sitting at 45-29.
