The Minnesota Timberwolves will head to the FedEx Forum Arena for Game 2 of their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. The Timberwolves put in a great performance to grab a 130-117 win in the opening game of the series.
Anthony Edwards scored 36 points on 52.2% shooting in his playoff debut. Karl-Anthony Towns added 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help his teammate.
The T-Wolves had a grip on the game right from the tip-off and despite all the trash talk from the Grizzlies players and fans, they stayed cool and walked away with the win.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the most electrifying teams in the NBA this season. Their stellar performances in the regular season helped them make the playoffs for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign.
The team is riding high on confidence after a stunning win in Game 1, but they have a long road ahead if they are to grab the series win.
Anthony Edwards has looked in great form and that will be extremely encouraging for the team. Karl-Anthony Towns had a poor outing in the play-in game against the LA Clippers, but made up for it by putting up a stunning 29-point display against the Grizzlies.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies achievements in the regular season came as a surprise to many. They are undoubtedly a team to watch out for and the way they have outplayed everyones expectations is simply incredible. Despite losing Game 1, they cannot be ruled out of making a turnaround in Game 2.
Ja Morant had a good outing against the Minnesota Timberwolves in what was one of the bright spots for the Grizzlies last time out. He will be looking to carry that forward for the rest of the series to take the Grizzlies to the next round.
But the Timberwolves are not going to make it that easy for him. They have the likes of Patrick Beverley and Jarred Vanderbilt who are sensational defenders. These players could stop Morant, thereby making it necessary for others on Memphis roster to step up their game.
