The Grizzlies take a real hit that started happening already in the first quarter.
A full-blown beating, and the painful kind. After winning the third quarter by 42 and reaching a maximum advantage of 45, the Minnesota Timberwolves easily crushed the Memphis Grizzlies by 43 points (138-95).
The Memphis defense was really futile. He had already conceded 72 points (72-43) at the break and by the end of the third quarter he had 113 (113-71). Hard to exacerbate.
Locals canceled Ja Morant, very gray. He finished with 11 points, matching his worst scoring record of the season.
On the other side, the antipodes, the local big three did a great job, scoring 72 overall.
D’Angelo Russell scored 28 and Dominica’s Karl-Anthony Towns scored 21 in 24 minutes, but the real leader of the match was young Anthony Edwards. Triple to 6’s.
Edwards was already the one to beat the game in the first quarter, which ended 40-23. Yes, Minnesota used fast track. The game was very short-lived. Of his 40 points in the first, Edwards’ 17 points scored him five from a triple in the first quarter and Wild scored his dunk.
With the help of players like Patrick Beverley, Michael Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt, helped the Timberwolves to a three-game winning streak. This is nearing his 50% win of the season.
Those in Minneapolis were 53.8% on field shots, made 20 triples near 50% effectiveness, and grabbed 18 offensive rebounds.
Memphis was a disaster from start to finish. He didn’t play Dillon Brooks, Kyle Anderson came out for him. Only Desmond Bane was saved from the fire. The rest is disappointing.
