After Action Report
In a track meet, the Grizzlies held off the Timberwolves 133-127. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
