This has certainly not been an easy series for the Grizzlies. They only need one more win to advance, but they’ve had to erase multiple significant deficits in games to get here. Steven Adams (COVID-19) is out, but he’s barely played since Game 1, so that’s not really of much significance. The Grizzlies are the better team, and no Timberwolves’ lead seems to be safe, so I think the Grizzlies finally put them away with a win.

Other than Game 2, Minnesota has essentially dominated this series but keeps collapsing in the fourth quarter when it loses. After a passive Game 3, Karl-Anthony Towns has been dominant the past two games. The Grizzlies will not have center Steven Adams tonight as he's in COVID protocols. That would be a big deal in the regular season, but he has fallen out of the rotation. Why even mention him then? What if Xavier Tillman/Brandon Clarke get into early foul trouble/injured? Plus, if Adams is in COVID protocols ... he's obviously been around the team. Not impossible another player lands in them today. Maybe I just badly want to see a Game 7 in this highly entertaining series.
