Memphis Grizzlies

Ja, Grizzlies even up series vs. Wolves with blowout win · April 19, 2022 · Highlights · Grizzlies rout Timberwolves 124-96 to tie series at 1 apiece · Game Info.

His layup gave Memphis a 87-60 lead with 4:15 to go in the third, and the Grizzlies led 96-77 going into the fourth. Officials called a foul on Towns early, then on the same play got Patrick Beverley for a technical after a swipe at Morant's head. Grizzlies: Entering the game had lost four of their last five games including the series opener. Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. each added 16 with Jackson hitting 4 of 7 from 3-point range as the Grizzlies finished with seven in double figures. At one point, Memphis had Steven Adams, Jackson, Clarke and Dillon Brooks on the bench with two fouls. Timberwolves: The NBA's top scoring team shot 39.5%. They had 30 field goals, matching the season low against Toronto on Feb. 16. This time, Memphis shot 11-of-34 with six Grizzlies knocking down at least one. That kept the NBA's top scoring teams in the regular season from getting into any rhythm as they combined to shoot 33 free throws. Then Adams got called for a foul that was upgraded to a flagrant 1 after he smacked Jarred Vanderbilt across the face. .Jackson, who matched his career high with seven blocks in the opener, had one Tuesday night. Patrick Beverley summed up Minnesota's struggles when his layup before the buzzer rolled off the rim. Naz Reid and Taurean Prince had 12 each off the bench, and D'Angelo Russell added 11.

I expect the Memphis Grizzlies to respond to Game One’s disappointment in a big way. That strategy helped the Clippers make KAT look helpless in the Play-In, and although he likely won’t play that bad the rest of the season, the Grizzlies need to make things more difficult for KAT. Still, Jenkins doesn’t need to minutes watch and play his best 5 of the night as much as possible. BC and Kyle were helpful, and Ziaire Williams had a nice run in the first half but ultimately the bench, specifically De’Anthony Melton, needs to be better. Saturday’s game in a way reminded me of Ja Morant’s first game back following his knee injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In that loss, the Grizzlies did a ton of standing around while Ja attacked in isolation as the Thunder packed the paint. The Wolves will fight all game long, but if Memphis can build an early lead they should be able to force the Wolves to play tight, just like Memphis did on Saturday. It’s still not a game plan the Grizzlies should rely on. The Grizzlies look to rebound following Saturday’s disappointing loss in Game One to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Memphis lacked energy from the opening tip, with the Timberwolves taking an advantage and early lead. The Grizzlies had a couple of runs in them to tie the game up at multiple points, but couldn’t ever really get over the hump and take a lead. The Wolves were up double digits by the midway point of the quarter as the Grizzlies looked like a team that hadn’t played a live basketball game in a week. Memphians know how wild FedExForum can get, and the Grizzlies have used that momentum in the past to carry themselves to victory. Memphis fans know better than anyone, though, that Game One isn’t always a testament to how the series goes.

His nine rebounds represent a playoff career-high for the third-year point guard, and his 10 assists took him to double-digits for the third time in postseason play. The All-Star point guard led the way for Memphis in one of his best playoff games to date. That defeat gave Minnesota home-court advantage in the series, and if they'd gone up 2-0 on Tuesday, the Timberwolves could've swept the series without ever returning to Memphis. Ja Morant wasn't going to let that happen.

The reserve, who didn't play in Game 1, scored 13 points and defended Towns for several possessions. After being torched for 130 points in 105 possessions in Game 1, the Grizzlies' sixth-ranked defense returned to form Tuesday. The defensive shifts on Anthony Edwards kept the budding star off-balance. Kyle Anderson assumed Adams' spot in the starting lineup to begin the third quarter. He had a game-high 23 points, and scored or assisted on 15 of the Grizzlies' 30 field goals in the paint. But the Grizzlies power forward settled in, draining four buckets from beyond the arc and playing a key role in Memphis' strong defensive game. Coach Taylor Jenkins had characterized the team as "pissed," and Grizzlies power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. groused repeatedly about playing "s---ty."

The Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 2 of the first-round playoff series before heading to Minneapolis for Games 3 and 4.

Something to watch moving forward is the status of Steven Adams in this series. Memphis outscored Minnesota from the second period onward 91-64. He finished with 13 points, 7 rebounds all while shooting 6 of 7 from the field in 21 minutes.

Get the full recap, highlights, and photos from the Grizzlies game against the Timberwolves on April 19, 2022 that took place at FedExForum in Memphis.

On the energy of the game and how it compared to the playoffs last year:I feel like last year’s energy was amazing too. Whatever we’ve got to do to win the game.’ So, super proud of him, super proud of all of our guys when that moment comes. So, just to see (Jackson Jr.) stay the course, keep putting the work in, I know he got in early foul trouble, but he comes back out and just bounces back, has a huge second half. I see it in the house all the time coming from the game. On the energy of the game and how it compared to the playoffs last year:I feel like last year’s energy was amazing too. Early on in the game, we got into the bonus really fast. So, being able to limit those and to make a guy do stuff that he’s not that comfortable doing, and then living with the result if he makes or misses a shot is what we were focused on.

Memphis outscored Minnesota 64-47 in the second half and limited the Timberwolves to 39% shooting and only six assists.

Memphis responds to losing its 1st game as a No. 2 seed with a resounding victory to even the series, which shifts to Minnesota on Thursday.

And sure enough, there it was: On March 21, 1953, the Boston Celtics (64) and the Syracuse Nationals (64) combined to shoot 128 free throws in a four-overtime game. The Grizzlies point guard was a little tentative with the ball, slow in some of his decisions and a little sticky with his dribble. After calling 20 fouls in the first 12 minutes, the crew called only 30 more in the next 36. And Kyle Anderson started the second half at center in place of struggling Steven Adams, scoring just one bucket but posting a plus-24 in his 18 minutes. Well, after one quarter, the Wolves (18) and the Grizzlies (15) had combined for 33. It would have been historic, and it would have been unwatchable. Burly Xavier Tillman Sr. drew a DNP in the opener but had 13 points and seven rebounds, four on the offensive glass. They matched the Wolves with 11 threes while still scoring 60 in the paint. The job at that point is to find open teammates. Heck, they did the next best thing, never meeting Memphis’ anticipated and then real aggressiveness. Morant put up 32 points in the opener and got to the foul line 20 times. “We’re going to say whatever has to be said in the moment to get us going.

The Memphis Grizzlies evened their first round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a dominant and balanced performance from Ja Morant.

Something that impressed ESPN analyst Jalen Rose to the utmost earlier this week. His father has collaborated with Karl Anthony Towns’ father to add a fun trash-talking element to the series that started at the end of Game 1. His playmaking opened up the offense and allowed seven Grizzlies players to score in the double figures.

It wasn’t until a few minutes into the second quarter that the Grizzlies hit their stride and began to pull away from Minnesota after holding a 33-32 lead after one. Jaren Jackson, Dillon Brooks, and Ja Morant joined Adams in being called for two fouls apiece in the first half. It was an extremely frustrating first quarter of basketball for Memphis.
