Grizzlies rally again past Wolves 114-106 to reach 2nd round
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Memphis Grizzlies didn't act their age in this first-round series against Minnesota, especially when they faced a double-digit deficit - all three times - entering the fourth quarter.
With another relentless and resolute finish, the Grizzlies finished off the Timberwolves. Their next challenge is coming fast: the Golden State Warriors.
Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks each scored 23 points and the Grizzlies rallied yet again to eliminate the Timberwolves, winning 114-106 in Game 6 on Friday night.
''I wish we got better starts so we don't have to put ourselves in that predicament,'' Brooks said, ''but we're always going to find a way to fight.''
Brandon Clarke added 17 points and 11 rebounds in another stellar effort off the bench for the Grizzlies, who withstood another quiet night by star Ja Morant and another double-digit deficit entering the fourth quarter.
''We stick together, stay on the same page, and I think it really showed on the big stage this series,'' said Bane, who led the Grizzlies in scoring the series.
The Grizzlies advanced in the playoffs for the first time in seven years, this time to meet Golden State, the NBA champions in 2015, 2017 and 2018. Game 1 is in Memphis on Sunday.
''Physically, mentally, this series was a battle,'' said a visibly drained Morant, who went 4 for 14 from the field and had 17 points and 11 assists. ''Obviously, the wins were pretty ugly outside of Game 2, but we got it done.''
Anthony Edwards had 16 of his 30 points in the first quarter for Minnesota. Jaden McDaniels had 24 points off the bench and Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 points and 10 rebounds, but the late-game struggles were evident again.
''We showed it in our shot selection in the fourth, and it's baked in our DNA right now,'' coach Chris Finch said. ''We know we have to learn from this. We're not all just going to be able to save the day.''
With the Grizzlies already the first team in NBA history to win multiple games in the same playoff series by erasing a double-digit-point fourth-quarter deficit, the here-we-go-again feeling was palpable in the building as an 84-74 lead for the Wolves at the third-quarter break quickly vanished.
Bane and Brooks each hit tying 3-pointers midway through the fourth, and Brooks fouled out just 26 seconds after his evened the score at 97.
''I think they thought I was going to shoot 1 for 10 again. I'm a pro. I figure stuff out,'' said Brooks, who went 9 for 19 including 5 for 6 from deep.
Bane then swished another one from deep at 3:03 for a 101-99 lead, the first for the Grizzlies since they were up 39-38.
The kill shot came soon after for a Wolves team that, like so many others against the Grizzlies this season, was consistently a step and a jump behind on the glass.
Tyus Jones missed a pair of 3-pointers from the wing on the same possession, but the Grizzlies rebounded both - and Morant used the second one for a layup and a four-point lead.
After McDaniels, who had the game of his two-year career, hit a 3 with 1:34 left to bring the Wolves back within one, Jones - the former Timberwolves player and native of Minnesota - answered with a 3-pointer to bump the lead back to two possessions with 1:09 left.
Despite the devastation of the two squandered leads in defeat earlier in the series and the franchise's untrustworthy history, the fans turned out again to give the Wolves a clear advantage.
Former Timberwolves star Latrell Sprewell sat courtside, a few seats down from Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen, a Minnesota native. Local head coaches P.J. Fleck (Gophers football), Ben Johnson (Gophers basketball) and Cheryl Reeve (Lynx) were in the house, too, as fans clutched neon-blue glow sticks for the duration of the night in the packed downtown arena.
Finch and Towns both clapped and waved at the fans as they walked off the court after the game in appreciation of the season-long support.
''How much this city, this team has given me, really made me enjoy basketball again,'' Towns said.
BEVERLEY THRILLS
One of the most vital players for Minnesota in this series - all season, really - has been Patrick Beverley with his energy, experience and tenacity.
He knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Wolves a 69-56 lead - their largest of the game - and grinned at Morant on his way back. The NBA's Most Improved Player flashed back a smile and promptly produced with a three-point play on the other end by flipping in a layup and drawing a foul. That sparked a 12-0 spurt by the Grizzlies, which Beverley ended with another 3.
MUST-WINS IN MINNESOTA
This was the first Game 6 the Timberwolves hosted in their modest postseason history, though they had Game 7 at Target Center in 2004 when they beat Sacramento to close that second round series.
In the Western Conference finals that year, the Wolves also beat the Lakers here in Game 5 before losing in Los Angeles in Game 6. Those are the only two elimination games they've ever won at home, having lost in those situations in the first round in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
TIP-INS
Grizzlies: Bane went 27 for 56 on 3-pointers in the series. That's already the most makes in team history for a single postseason. O.J. Mayo made 20 from behind the arc in 13 playoff games in 2011.
Timberwolves: Naz Reid was not with the team for personal reasons, so recent acquisition Greg Monroe got the backup center minutes, his first action of the series.
