Timberwolves bounce back to down depleted Grizzlies, 119-97

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:23:17 GMT

Memphis provided a reminder Sunday of how grateful the Timberwolves should be for their health.The Grizzlies entered the season with title aspirations. It was a common “bold” — or not so bold — prediction from national pundits that Memphis would finish with the best regular-season record in the Western Conference, the logical next step for a franchise that’s twice finished as the No. 2 seed in the conference and won a playoff series in 2022.But, instead, the Grizzlies fell to 3-13 on Sunday, as they were blitzed 119-97 at home by Minnesota, who instead is the new conference front-runner.There are certainly similarities and differences between the two organizations that have been mentioned in the same breath for various reasons over the past few seasons. But the primary separator this season, which again reared its head Sunday in Memphis, was health.The Timberwolves (12-4) are currently missing just one of their top-eight players in Jaden McDaniels.
