Follow Us
The Memphis Grizzlies pulled off their biggest playoff comeback in game 3. They were down multiple times, but they came back storming each time. But this game also showed the epic shortcoming of the Minnesota Timberwolves who let the Grizzlies come back twice. And Charles Barkley did not mince his words.
The Wolves were up by 25 in the third quarter and they looked in control. But then, they let the Grizzlies go on a 21-0 run which tied the game. And the coaching staff did not call a timeout once during this entire run. The Wolves were shellshocked when the Grizzlies took the lead and they could never recover from that blow.

Charles Barkley destroys the Minnesota Timberwolves for blowing a 26 point lead
Chuck was not impressed with the way the Wolves play calling and the players. He said, ” I don’t believe there is no dumb kids, I just think they got bad parents. The Timberwolves are dumb, but their coaches are dumb…I said it at halftime, this has got to be one of the dumbest teams…All that talent and they’re dumber than rocks, I’m so frustrated man, one thing I can’t stand is stupidity on the basketball court…That was embarrassing for basketball”

After game 2, Anthony Edwards sent out a warning to the Grizzlies, and he told them they now had to come to their home and play. But the Grizzlies not only did that, but they also came and owned the Wolves. They came back from 2 double-digits down in both halves. Ja Morant led the way with a 16-point triple-double while Brandon Clarke finished with 20 points off the bench. For the Wolves, Towns had only 8 points, and he took only 4 shots. They will need him to be aggressive otherwise their season is done.
