On April 30, Beijing time, the Grizzlies ushered in the first round of G6 matches with the Timberwolves playoffs, before this game, the Grizzlies have already held the match point and led the opponent 3-2, so as long as they can win this victory, they can eliminate the opponent, reach the semifinals, and usher in the showdown with the Warriors. At the beginning of the game, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, the first half of the battle, the Grizzlies only 3 points behind the Timberwolves playing at home, but in the second half of the easy side to fight again, sitting on their own home of the Timberwolves suddenly got up, in the third quarter to play a 32-25, fortunately the Grizzlies did not give up, in the last quarter and returned the opponent a 40-22 small climax, and finally won a thrilling victory at 114-106, eliminating the Timberwolves with a total score of 4-2 and successfully advancing to the semifinals. And in the semifinals they will be challenged by the Golden State Warriors.
In this game, the Grizzlies' young master Morant was not ideal in the face of several Backcourt Gates of the Timberwolves, and in the 38 minutes of playing time, 4 of 14 shots were supported by the team's top scorer in the playoffs. In the first quarter, Bain's form was extremely hot, scoring 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the 10-minute playing time, and in the first half, Bane scored a team-high 15 points with 3-of-5 three-pointers, and his 25th three-pointer in the series at the time also successfully broke the Grizzlies' record for three-point shooting on a single playoff trip.

This game Grizzlies can overcome the once backward double-digit disadvantage, ushered in the rebound, but also thanks to Bane at the critical moment to support, if it is not he on the outside to help the team continue to firepower, the Grizzlies may really be taken away by the Timberwolves directly a wave of streams, dragging the game into the seven, and this time with the Grizzlies successfully advanced to the semifinals, facing them will be a powerful Golden State Warriors, facing curry, Klay and other top scorers, with the "meat Curry" known as Bane, Whether or not to continue to maintain such a fiery performance against the Timberwolves in the first round will also determine the prospects of the Grizzlies in the semifinals.
