The series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies has been one of the most entertaining first-round playoff series that the league has seen in quite some time.
The past three games between these two teams have seen tight battles that have been decided within the last few minutes. In this game, Memphis wasn’t able to get much going early on and actually had to outscore Minnesota by 13 points in the fourth quarter for them to walk away with the win.
They won game 5, 111-109, behind Desmond Bane’s 25 points and Ja Morant’s 30 points. Morant finished the night with 30 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists.
Can the Grizzlies Finish The Timberwolves Off in 6?
With this series going back to Minnesota, it’s not going to be an easy task for Memphis to win the series in six games. Minnesota has an incredible home crowd that is going to be screaming for their team on Friday.
The one thing that Memphis is going to have to try to do in order for them to win this game is to make sure that Jaren Jackson Jr stays out of foul trouble. He finished the night picking up six fouls in just 18 minutes of play, which is unacceptable if the Memphis Grizzlies want to be the team that everybody expects them to be. He’s one of the best defenders in all of basketball and he’s a huge part of their success.
