On April 20, Beijing time, the NBA ushered in a tragic crime! The Grizzlies, who lost their first game, played an unstoppable momentum in the second game at home. In the second and third quarters, the Grizzlies played 27-17 and 36-28 respectively, pulling the score apart in one fell swoop, and finally defeated the Timberwolves 124-96 to complete a big victory! Morant was once injured and terrified, but the whole game still bombarded 23 points, 9 boards and 10 assists in the triple double, and the Grizzlies played the second in the West with 7 doubles.
Facing the Timberwolves in the first game, the Grizzlies suffered a shocking defeat. In the first quarter of the game, the two sides still played against each other, and the Grizzlies took a slight lead 33-32. But in the second quarter, the Grizzlies stepped up their defense, and the Timberwolves scored only 17 points in a single quarter. In the third quarter, Morant broke out to score 12 points, while the Timberwolves were still in a scoring drought, with the point difference reaching more than 20 points.
Morant encountered a terrifying scene at the end of the third quarter. He was hit in the thigh by Downs during a detour around cover, and Morant then limped back into the dressing room with a painful expression. Fortunately, after a short period of treatment, Morant returned to the field. Since the previous point differential has been completely opened, there is no need for Morant to do too much. With more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Morant was replaced and the Grizzlies collected.
Throughout the game, the Grizzlies scored in double figures with a total of seven players. In addition to Morant's 23 points, 9 boards and 10 assists, Bain 16 points, Jalen Jackson 16 points and 7 boards, Clark 13 points, Tillman 13 points, Williams 13 points, Jones 10 points, 4 boards and 3 assists. For the Timberwolves, the main players played quite badly, with 3 core Towns, Edwards and Russell scoring only 46 points in total, and the team made as many as 19 mistakes, and finally suffered a fiasco.
After the game, the Grizzlies erupted in enthusiastic cheers at home to celebrate their first playoff win of the season. When the camera is given to the Timberwolves players, Edwards looks sluggish and blue, and Towns is also unhappy, and he is plagued by fouls. Next, the Timberwolves are going to return home, and they have basically completed the task in the first two games, and now need to bounce back strongly at home.
