His late heroics in Game 5 fueled another Memphis comeback, but he was held in check for much of Game 6, as he was in the series. An All-Star in 2022 during his third campaign, Morant averaged 27.4 points per game during the regular season and led the NBA in points in the paint. Like coach [Taylor Jenkins] said in the locker room, 'There's not one way to win in the NBA playoffs.' There are a lot of ways to win and we just figured out one way." For the third time in the series, Memphis on Friday overcame a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. But it was Morant who commanded the most attention in the series.

“We’re happy with the result, but we’ve always had a big picture since we’ve been playing with each other. Even when you don’t do what you’re supposed to do, you gotta have the same approach, like even when it’s a good game, you gotta just learn from it.” Knocking off Minnesota in six games rather than seven didn’t buy the victors a thing. In the 18 quarters, one through three, of the six games, the Wolves outscored the Grizzlies 519-490. The starting backcourt remains an issue, with Patrick Beverley past his prime as a full-time starter and irritant, while D’Angelo Russell seemed to shrink when the Wolves needed him most. He made a huge statement in the series.” But he stuck around for more than 34 minutes in the finale, scoring 18 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, sinking three treys and blocking a couple shots. In the six fourth quarters, they got outscored 198-136, including 40-22 in the clincher.

Dillon Brooks scored 23 in the clincher and chased around Anthony Edwards for much of the series. … And defensively taking a lot of tough assignments – switching on the guards, guarding Towns for a good portion of the series.” “If you ask me, the MVP of this series would be this guy here,” Morant said, gesturing at Bane seated next to him.

Between that and the threat of Curry/Thompson/Poole/Wiggins getting hot offensively, this could be the end of a special season for the Grizzlies. But a funny thing about that - Memphis was able to hold that key #2 seed because of the depth the team possesses. Ja Morant was missed, but Tyus Jones is arguably the best back-up point guard in the NBA. Steven Adams matters a lot to this Memphis team, but the Grizzlies have Brandon Clarke, Kyle Anderson, and Xavier Tillman Sr. to fill that front court void. Ja struggled (-4.3 in 3 games against the Warriors this season) with Golden State but has dominated them in the past, and Bane was a strong +15.6 over the Warriors. They can’t defend everyone. They have players that have done this before, literally when current members of the Memphis Grizzlies were in high school. He lives in the midrange and three point territory, meaning that he is not a threat to get to the rim and attack the paint, like Karl-Anthony Towns could do off the dribble to Adams or even Patrick Beverley to Ja Morant. He is predictable. Playing Adams (once he gets out of protocols) makes sense - Morant missed the type of screens “Steve-O” set (led the NBA in screen assists) and the Grizzlies missed his rebounding prowess (led the NBA in offensive rebounds). Adams was strong in three games against Golden State this season, a +7.2 in 3 games played against the Warriors per basketball-reference.com. He played 65 minutes at that rate. The Warriors are the favorites in terms of betting at least - on DraftKings Golden State is -260 to take the series. The prediction here was Grizzlies in 5, but the struggles of Ja Morant (who had issues scoring consistently outside of Game 5 but impacted the series in other major ways through his passing and rebounding) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (fouls specifically) plus the impressive execution of game plan by Minnesota made that result get delayed a game. In fact, they did make (and lost) the Finals that year, and each of the last five times Golden State made the playoffs they got to the NBA Finals. Some things have changed of course - Kevin Durant and others aren’t around anymore, the Big Three of Curry/Thompson/Green are a few years older. And the Grizzlies need to consider going back to what they were before the Timberwolves forced a hard turn. For the first time since 2015, the Memphis Grizzlies closed out a playoff series with a win when they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6 of their first round NBA Playoff series.
