Game Preview

Minnesota has a very tough schedule, and after three straight road wins, they lost to the Bucks in Milwaukee, 110-103. Believe it or not, the Timberwolves had a 24-point lead in the last period against the Bucks and lost that one.

Julius Randle was blown away by Giannis. The Timberwolves big man scored only 9 points, 7 boards, and 6 assists, but he also had 5 turnovers.

The Grizzlies got a hold of the situation following Taylor Jenkins’ departure. Memphis won 3 in a row, and Tuomas Lisalo stabilized the team for the moment.

May we add that all three victories came on the road, with the Grizzlies beating the Heat, the Pistons, and the Hornets.
