The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Grizzlies 133-104. Timberwolves torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
