The Grizzlies promotion is in sight
Morant used a left-handed layup to help the Memphis Grizzlies win Mount Kings, but that doesn't mean that the Grizzlies are already nine out of ten in this series. This game, the sixth game of the series, became crucial. If the Grizzlies can seize the opportunity, they can successfully advance and then compete against Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors on the Western Conference semifinals stage. However, once lost, the series will become a definite winner, and no one is sure of winning.
The Timberwolves are back at home, and they won't want to end the season in front of home fans. The young Timberwolves, who proved themselves in the playoffs, do have the potential to beat any opponent, but young people always make mistakes, and it's those mistakes that put them in a desperate situation of 2-3.
