On April 22, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and in the third game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies came to Minnesota on the road. The Grizzlies were completely passive from the start of the game, scoring only 21 points in the first quarter, but the Timberwolves scored 39 points, and the Grizzlies had no way to defend their opponents! Although the Grizzlies had a tendency to chase points in the second quarter and only let their opponents score 12 points, their state fluctuations were too great!
In the third quarter they collapsed again, and the Timberwolves once again stretched the point difference to more than 20 points! But what people didn't expect was that the Timberwolves started the fourth quarter to a 16:0 offensive climax of the opponent, directly equalizing the score, which was something that no one expected! In the end, they beat their opponents 104:95, and the big score was changed to 2:1!
The Grizzlies' side was in a slump in the first three quarters of this game, with the top three backcourt core shots being poor, and Morant, Dillon Brooks and Bain were very inefficient! In addition to the bad play of the three core backcourt players, the team's interior core Jaron Jackson Jr. was also plagued by fouls, the first quarter of the game he only played 6 minutes, there were 2 fouls, followed by a foul in the second quarter, the third quarter just started a minute, he received his fourth foul, had to rest, which also made the Grizzlies' main lineup suffered a very big impact, directly let the Timberwolves pull the point difference apart!
But the game entered the fourth quarter, they were like a different team, using sports battles to complete the score in a row, Bane, Jones, Anderson and others led the team to complete the score in a row, and the score and momentum were getting more and more favorable to the Grizzlies! After a series of offensive scoring climaxes, the Grizzlies completely completed the reversal!
The Grizzlies, as the second-largest team in the league, still showed the overall strength and resilience of the team in this game, which is indeed something that the Timberwolves did not have. But for them, if they want to achieve good results this season, then it is necessary to reduce the collapse situation in the first three quarters, after all, not all games can be completed in the final quarter!
