So what really happened in the fourth quarter of the game? After the game, Micah Adams posted the statistics of the Timberwolves and Grizzlies in the fourth quarter! In this statistic we can see why the Timberwolves were reversed by their opponents!
First on top of the shots, the Grizzlies shot 12-of-23 from the team in the fourth quarter, while the Timberwolves made just 3-of-19 shooting! On the three-pointers, the Grizzlies shot 6-of-10 and the Timberwolves just 1-of-11, and it was the inconsequential three-pointer that Edwards shot at a time when the game had lost suspense!
In terms of rebounding, the Grizzlies grabbed 19 rebounds in the fourth quarter, while the Timberwolves had only five rebounds as a team. The Grizzlies' rebounds include 5 frontcourt rebounds and 14 backcourt rebounds, while the Grizzlies have 1 frontcourt rebound and 4 backcourt rebounds, and the other data is not much different between the two sides!

And they can't score on the offensive end, and they can't grab the rebound in the front court, which directly leads to a very big problem with the team, allowing the opponent to complete a wave of great reversal!
