Millsap made a return with 7 minutes to the game and played the rest of the fourth quarter and led the Piston’s win.
Malone said to media, “He, Millsap is a tough cat. I am sure that he is going to have one hell of a headache the next morning. He is surely a pro and he came back in and wanted to get right back in the game and helped the team pull this victory”.
Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau said, “We were searching for the win. I thought they gave us a lift but then they got us back. The third quarter was a problem for us”.
