The Timberwolves looked like they had Game 3 for … nearly the entire night. After three quarters, Minnesota led, 83-67, as Patrick Beverley picked the Grizz apart and Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell traded buckets.
But this Memphis team doesn’t quit, and proceeded to tie the league’s road playoff record for largest margin of victory in the fourth quarter, outscoring Minny 37-12 to take a nine-point win.
Desmond Bane led the way with 26 points with seven 3-point makes, Brandon Clarke scored 20 and Ja Morant triple-doubled (the first in Grizzlies playoff history) with 16 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.
