Marcus Smart came out to halfcourt and berated the officials for a call he wanted on KAT. He’s beside himself (in street clothes) – 10:02 PM

Anthony Edwards scored 17 points in the third quarter, and after most of his teammates struggled against Jaren Jackson Jr., he fared well with the assignment. He’s a problem.
End of 3: Wolves 88 Grizzlies 85 – 9:51 PM

Ant willed the Wolves into the lead with his physicality. now they will have to carry that forward into the 4th while he grabs a rest.
Grizz still with 19 more FGAs thanks to 40-24 rebounding edge and 12 MIN TOs. – 9:51 PM

Anthony Edwards, who has been guarding Jaren Jackson Jr. for the last few minutes, just gave JJJ a big flex walking to the bench after Memphis called a timeout.
Funny thing about Ant is how much better his offense is when he’s guarding someone he respects on defense. Big offense… – 9:45 PM

Physical nature of this game has finally woken the Wolves up. Lot more effort on the boards, and Ant is finally engaged. They erase that 11-point Memphis lead with a 14-3 run. – 9:44 PM

This run is all Ant. Hitting 3s, scoring on drives and digging his heels in and guarding JJJ. – 9:44 PM

Wolves aren’t shooting terribly (46%), hitting a bunch of 3s (11-21). But Grizzlies have taken 16 more shots because of a 31-18 rebounding advantage.
JJJ has been the best player on the floor. 19/10r – 9:22 PM

KAT touches in the first half when he immediately shot a 3 went really well (3 for 5 from deep), and pretty much every other KAT touch went poorly (didn’t make a 2, 4 turnovers and a handful of broken possessions).
Wolves down 53 to 50 to the Grizzlies at home at halftime. – 9:10 PM

That finish summed up the first half. Bad news: Grizz out-working the Wolves and up 3.
Good news: That was a good Jaden McDaniels quarter. – 9:08 PM

If this NBA thing stops working out at some point, Ziaire Williams would be a mean red zone target for an NFL offense.
Joking but serious. – 8:57 PM

Still many more games to go, but Lamar Stevens fits. His physicality and ability to guard multiple positions while putting points on the board has been plus. Long way to go, but he’s played himself into the conversation of being on next season’s roster. – 8:51 PM

After Monte Morris and Naz Reid checked in, the Wolves went on a 19 to 8 run to close the first quarter last night.
And tonight, after Morris and Reid checked in, the Wolves went on a 14 to 6 run to close the first quarter. – 8:36 PM

The Timberwolves have switched to a zone, and it’s giving Memphis some trouble. Getting someone like Lamar Stevens in the middle of the zone could help, but the starters have to figure it out for now. Can’t rely on Jaren to score in isolations against a set zone. – 8:22 PM

Ja Morant has came to practice wearing a whistle. Desmond Bane is still one of the first ones in the gym and last ones to leave. Marcus Smart won’t leave the referees alone.
3 of the Grizzlies’ injured stars are still finding ways to make an impact.
