MINNEAPOLIS -- Andre Drummond flexed his muscles, bowed his back and enforced his will on the Minnesota Timberwolves.And the free-falling pups showed they wanted nothing to do with Detroits monster in the middle, raising alarm bells all over Minnesota.Drummond had 22 points and 22 rebounds for his second straight 20-20 game and the Pistons cruised to a 117-90 victory over the Timberwolves on Friday night.His energy was great, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. He was dominant. He was all over the boards.Marcus Morris had 15 points and seven rebounds and the Pistons had their way with Minnesotas struggling defense, hitting 14 of 29 3-pointers. Detroit came into the game second-to-last in the NBA averaging just 7.1 made 3s per game.Andrew Wiggins scored 16 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Wolves.Drummond had his third 20-20 game of the season and 10th since 2014-15, the most in the NBA during that span, and Detroit won for the fourth time on the road in the last five games after starting the season 1-8 away from home.I give my all every night, Drummond said. When the balls falling the right way like that, my energy kept going up more and more as the game went on because everything was kind of going the right way that night.Van Gundy has been harping on Drummond to give more consistent effort night-in and night-out, and he beamed that he has gotten three straight strong performances from his All-Star center.Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau is having even more difficulty squeezing energy out of his team and said he was very concerned that his message is not getting through to a team that is 6-17.Im going to keep coming. I dont go away, Thibodeau vowed. Im going to look at everything, re-examine. Somethings being missed. Its got to change.Detroit broke the game open in the third quarter, hitting six 3s during a 31-10 run that bled into the fourth and prompted boos from a sparse Target Center crowd.Reggie Jackson scored 16 points in his fourth game back from a left knee injury.REELING WOLVESMinnesota has lost seven of its last eight games and has not won at home since Nov. 17.We can accept making mistakes and dont make shots, said Ricky Rubio, who had 10 points. Playing with no heart, with no desire, its just awful. Right now, its just bad.Thibodeau said everything is on the table as he looks to fix things, including lineup changes.Something is not right, he said. We have to find the answer to that.LONG DISTANCEThe Wolves started out the season as the best 3-point shooting team in the NBA, an enormous improvement from recent seasons when they have languished near the bottom of the league. They have steadily regressed to the mean, however, and made just 3 of 16 3s on Friday night. They went through a stretch of 13 straight misses before Brandon Rush made one, his first since Nov. 1, in garbage time.HOMECOMINGPistons rookie Henry Ellenson is from Rice Lake, Wisconsin, a two-hour drive from Target Center. Ellenson said more than 150 people were making the trip for his first game in Minnesota. It was such an anticipated night that Rice Lake High School rescheduled its boys and girls basketball games so more people from the town could make it.The Rice Lake High School band also played during pregame warmups.The vocal contingent cheered Put in Henry! as the game got out of hand in the fourth, and cheered wildly when he finally entered with four minutes to play.TIP-INSPistons: F Jon Leuer, a native of Orono, also made a homecoming.

Carlos Ruiz Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Jay Buhner Jersey . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. http://www.marinersrookiestore.com/Mariners-Nelson-Cruz-Kids-Jersey/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Robinson Cano Jersey . Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days. Mitch Haniger Jersey . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Josh Hodgson had no right to play on Saturday night.Forget that he damaged ligaments and bruised some bone in his left ankle just seven days earlier.Just hours before steering Canberra to a 22-12 win over Penrith for a place in next weekends grand final qualifier against Melbourne, the star NRL hooker was bed-ridden with a severe stomach bug.Hodgson came down with the illness after completing his first - and only - training session of the week on Friday, spending most of game-eve on the toilet.It was the last thing the Dally M Medal contender wanted, having surviving days of intense physiotherapy and late nights icing his foot.I just didnt feel quite right, the understated Englishman said.Luckily it was night match, so it managed to wear off in time for kick-off.I was down about 1.5kg before the game, so not too much; I was just trying to keep the fluids up as much as I could.Its been a rough week, but the win makes up for it.Rated by some as the competitions most in-form No.9, Hodgson was error-free in his 30- tackle effort at GIO Stadium.His kicking game was again on-song, as too was his running out of dummy half.Hes a tough Pom - theres no two ways about it, coach Ricky Stuart said.For him to get out there and do that after what hes been through tthis week with his ankle and then the last day-and-a-half in bed, just trying to feed him as much fluid and whatever he could eat, its what the team is about.dddddddddddd Its what our club is about now.The resilience in this group of players is amazing and Im in a privileged position to be their coach.Fellow playmaker Blake Austin, who also made a stunning return from injury to score a try in the semi-final victory after breaking his hand last month, labelled Hodgsons heroics huge.We know what he means to our team but hes not one for personal accolades, so we just let him get on with his job, Austin said.He didnt spent much time with us (on Friday night) at our hotel but he came and just got the job done. Full credit to him.Weve had plenty of examples of toughness in this team and Im sure therell be plenty more over the next many years.Despite the rough week, Hodgson said nothing was going to stop him from playing the Storm at AAMI Park, in what will be the clubs first preliminary final in the NRL era.No matter how many games youve played, when youre one win away from a grand final that gives you a lot of energy, he said.
