Game 6 of the series
The young and talented Timberwolves showed their prowess in the first round of the playoffs, and despite their opponents being the second-place Grizzlies in the West, the Timberwolves made the series suspenseful. However, it is also because of their youth that the Timberwolves missed a lot of opportunities, which has put them behind the Grizzlies by a large margin of 2-3. In Game 6 of the series, the Timberwolves returned home and ushered in a backwater battle. In this game, for the Timberwolves, losing means going home, and winning can drag the series into the game of seven.
The Grizzlies naturally hope that, in this one game, the suspense of the series will end. In the last battle of King's Hill, Morant dominated the game in the final moments and made Edwards' three-point tie meaningless. The best thing about the Grizzlies, though, is that they don't just have Morant. Bane and Brooks, as well as Jaren Jackson Jr., all have the ability to stand up and take over the game.
