The Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves 104-95 on the road today, rewriting the big score to 1-1.
In today's game, the Grizzlies were big behind, trailing by 26 points at most, and twice 20+ behind. But at the end of the third and fourth quarters, the Grizzlies blasted a wave of 21-0 and directly completed the rebound. In the final quarter, the Grizzlies played a 37-12 single-quarter score, netting 25 points and completing a big reversal.
It is worth mentioning that in the last game, the Grizzlies just beat the Timberwolves by as many as 28 points, and this game completed the reversal with 26 points behind. From that point of view, the Timberwolves are indeed not opponents of the Grizzlies, and although they won the first game, it is unlikely that they will complete the Black Seven.
In today's game, Morant played 40 minutes, shooting 5-of-18, including 1-of-3 from three-point range and 5-of-10 from the free throw line, scoring just 16 points, but also 10 rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks. As a result, Morant also became the first player in Grizzlies history to win a triple-double in a single game in the playoffs.
Bain played brilliantly today, playing 40 minutes, shooting 8-of-19, including 7-of-15 three-pointers and 3-of-4 from the free throw line, with 26 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Brandon Clark played 29 minutes, shooting 6-of-9 and having 20 points and eight rebounds.
For the Timberwolves, Russell played 38 minutes, shooting 9-of-21, including 4-of-8 three-pointers, and had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Towns played heavily, playing 33 minutes, shooting 3-of-4 from the field, with 8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 blocks.
It is worth mentioning that in the last two playoff games, Towns has received a total of 10 fouls, but only hit 7 goals in total. In the previous play-offs, Towns also scored six early fouls and only scored three goals. In all three games, Towns has committed more fouls than shots in each of them.
Beasley was also in poor shape today, playing 25 minutes, shooting 4-of-12 from the field and having 11 points and three rebounds. Beverly played 33 minutes in the game, shooting 5-of-13, 0-of-5 from three-point range, 4-of-5 from the free throws, 14 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, including 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in the first half and 0-of-5 shooting in the second half, scoring 2 points from the free throws alone.
