Game 3 between these two teams was certainly full of twists and turns. In the end, the Timberwolves blew two huge leads to fall down 2-1 in the series. The Grizzlies are the better team, and they showed it when they mounted their huge comebacks Thursday. They’ve essentially removed Steven Adams from the rotation, which is a good decision based on his inability to defend around the perimeter. Look for them to take a 3-1 series lead here.

The Grizzlies have found their groove and are doing what makes them successful. They opened the series flat as they played their last few games of the regular season with no pressure, nothing to gain by winning. But the essence of what makes the Grizzlies go was on display in the last two games. They attack and don’t stop. They led the league in rebounds, blocks, and steals. This team is on the fast track to the NBA Finals. Memphis to cover.
