The Minnesota Timberwolves are back to winning. The Memphis Grizzlies are still struggling. They make a vastly uneven matchup when the Grit & Grind squad arrives in Minnesota. The Wolves have won seven of their last eight games.
The Grizzlies have had a rollercoaster, but are poised to take a back-to-back win after beating the Clippers. After a very tight game, the Grizzlies extended their run with a 116-110 win.

Grizzlies vs Timberwolves: Game summary and key moments
Both teams were without their top scorers, Ja Morant with a left ankle sprain and Anthony Edwards with an injured right foot. At least the Grizzlies seem to succeed without Morant.
The Grizzlies gave the Wolves a hard time with a tight match against all odds. They were only a point away, as the Wolves led 61-62 at halftime.
Statistically, they were evenly matched in good and bad ways. Amid effective rebounding on both sides, they also had 18 turnovers each, a number that’s embarrassingly jarring. It was also marked by fouls, although no technical fouls were called.
Who are the top performers who stood out?
Jaren Jackson Jr. led the charge, tallying a game-high 28 points for the Grizzlies, 17 of which came in the first half, and 12 rebounds. Jock Landale added 20 points and 10 rebounds. When the Grizzlies held a 106-103 lead, Landale made his fourth 3-pointer, which was a game-high and a personal career best.
Rudy Gobert, after welcoming his baby girl recently, is standing on business with 16 boards to match his 16 points. Julius Randle added 21 points for the Timberwolves. Donte DiVincenzo had 19 points and 11 rebounds. Yet their impressive individual stat lines didn’t save their game.
