The Grizzlies kicked off the quarter with some 3’s from Tyus Jones and Jaren Jackson Jr. However, the Timberwolves held on with some big offensive punches from Jordan McLaughlin and Jaden McDaniels. The Grizzlies made a run that led to Desmond Bane tying the game at 94 — which prompted Edwards and Brooks to follow up with 3’s of their own. The Grizzlies ended the quarter down 84-74. The half ended with the Grizzlies down 52-49. That ignited a small run for the Grizzlies to chip the lead down to 4. The second quarter started with the Timberwolves going with a bit of no-KAT minutes. Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks led the charge for the Grizzlies there, combining for 23 points and 5 three’s in the first period.

Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins made a smart decision in the first quarter when he took Jackson out five minutes into the game with one foul. MINNEAPOLIS— Maybe the Memphis Grizzlies like playing from behind.

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Steven Adams for at least one game and potentially more.

"He's doing well, he's getting better each day," Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. Current health and safety protocols do not require contact tracing for fully vaccinated players and coaches. "... He's just an elite passer, elite basketball mind. "He's a great voice," Jaren Jackson Jr. added. The Grizzlies lead the best-of-seven series 3-2.

Draymond had advice for Karl Anthony-Towns amidst Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Memphis Grizzlies series.

Ty Lue did it in the play-in as well, and while the Clippers lost the game, KAT was a non-factor.

O.J. Mayo made 20 shots from behind the arc in 13 playoff games in 2011.

Memphis overcomes a double-digit deficit in the 4th quarter again to close out Minnesota in Game 6. Five takeaways from the Memphis Grizzlies' victory in ...

“We’re happy with the result, but we’ve always had a big picture since we’ve been playing with each other. Even when you don’t do what you’re supposed to do, you gotta have the same approach, like even when it’s a good game, you gotta just learn from it.” Knocking off Minnesota in six games rather than seven didn’t buy the victors a thing. In the 18 quarters, one through three, of the six games, the Wolves outscored the Grizzlies 519-490. The starting backcourt remains an issue, with Patrick Beverley past his prime as a full-time starter and irritant, while D’Angelo Russell seemed to shrink when the Wolves needed him most. He made a huge statement in the series.” But he stuck around for more than 34 minutes in the finale, scoring 18 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, sinking three treys and blocking a couple shots. In the six fourth quarters, they got outscored 198-136, including 40-22 in the clincher. Never before in NBA playoff history had a team come back twice to win after trailing by 10 points or more in the fourth quarter. Dillon Brooks scored 23 in the clincher and chased around Anthony Edwards for much of the series. … And defensively taking a lot of tough assignments – switching on the guards, guarding Towns for a good portion of the series.” “If you ask me, the MVP of this series would be this guy here,” Morant said, gesturing at Bane seated next to him.

The schedule is out for the Second Round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs for the Memphis Grizzlies. The team takes on the Golden State Warriors.

Will it be the Grizzlies or Warriors in the 2022 Western Conference Finals? Place your vote here.

So, which of these teams will advance to the 2022 Western Conference Finals? We want to know what you think. Curry and Thompson combined to average 50.6 in the opening round and vastly improved Jordan Poole (21.6 PPG) continued to add a potent third offensive option. He’ll need to provide steadier production in the second round. Morant had ups and downs in the series, averaging a subpar (by his standards) 21.5 PPG and 4.2 turnovers. They needed to stage major, and sometimes unlikely, comebacks to take care of the Timberwolves. They rallied from a 26-point deficit in Game 3 and needed a last-second Ja Morant layup to take Game 5. Brandon Clarke played a huge role off the bench against Minnesota but the Grizzlies will need more from Jaren Jackson Jr. (11.8 PPG, 7.2 RPG). The X factor could be center Steven Adams, who entered health and safety protocols prior to Game 6.

The Golden State Warriors see the young Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals and recalled how the roles were reversed in 2015.

Want to stay informed on the latest Memphis sports news? At that point, those Warriors won two playoffs series in three seasons (2013-15) before facing the Grizzlies. Back then, the Warriors were the young No. 1 seeded upstarts against a veteran Grizzlies team who surprised them by jumping out to a 2-1 series lead. "We had to figure out how to respond and obviously that story was a great one. Curry recalled the now-famous tale of him and Draymond Green eating, drinking and regrouping at Blues City Cafe after the Warriors' loss in Game 3. It's a fitting tagline for the Western Conference semifinals except Stephen Curry bristled at it.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have the Golden State Warriors in their seventh Western Conference semifinal in 10 ...

Since Nov. 18, he has been the NBA’s best 3-point shooter at 45.9%, and now he has Memphis' postseason mark with 27 3s in six games to lead this postseason. The Grizzlies not only lead the NBA scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter this postseason, they also top the league in that quarter making 45.3% of their 3s. Curry scored at least 30 points in his last two games and three of four coming off the bench in all but Game 5 against the Nuggets to protect his tender left foot. Memphis earned the No. 8 seed a year ago after beating San Antonio, then going on the road to beat the Warriors in the play-in tournament. The Grizzlies ended the game on a 17-7 run. They’re the first team in NBA history to post multiple comeback victories when trailing by double digits going into the fourth quarter, and they did it three times ousting Minnesota. The last time these teams met on the playoff stage in 2015, Memphis jumped out to a 2-1 lead. The dynamic guard leads a young, brash and deep roster that edged out Golden State for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference with the NBA's best record behind only Phoenix. “We feel like we are one of the best backcourts in the league as well,” Morant said. “The more experience you get, the better.” We put in the work.” And yes, Kerr believes postseason runs help teams forge an identity.

The Grizzlies now face a monumental task in Round 2: dethrone a head coach and a veteran core group that's beyond playoff tested— they're championship tested.

The Memphis Grizzlies are going to have to put aside any nerves and doubt and stay focused on the mission of winning one possession at a time. Steven Adams and Kyle Anderson are the only players on the team’s roster that were in the NBA the first time the Warriors won a championship. While the Warriors were winning their first chip together, most of the league’s second-youngest team were in middle school and junior high school— probably watching in awe of these very Warriors like the rest of the NBA was doing in the summer of 2015.

PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP: Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks, Jaren Jackson Jr., Xavier Tillman Sr. PROJECTED KEY ROTATION PLAYERS: Tyus Jones, Kyle ...

Between that and the threat of Curry/Thompson/Poole/Wiggins getting hot offensively, this could be the end of a special season for the Grizzlies. But a funny thing about that - Memphis was able to hold that key #2 seed because of the depth the team possesses. Ja Morant was missed, but Tyus Jones is arguably the best back-up point guard in the NBA. Steven Adams matters a lot to this Memphis team, but the Grizzlies have Brandon Clarke, Kyle Anderson, and Xavier Tillman Sr. to fill that front court void. Ja struggled (-4.3 in 3 games against the Warriors this season) with Golden State but has dominated them in the past, and Bane was a strong +15.6 over the Warriors. They can’t defend everyone. They have players that have done this before, literally when current members of the Memphis Grizzlies were in high school. He lives in the midrange and three point territory, meaning that he is not a threat to get to the rim and attack the paint, like Karl-Anthony Towns could do off the dribble to Adams or even Patrick Beverley to Ja Morant. He is predictable. Playing Adams (once he gets out of protocols) makes sense - Morant missed the type of screens “Steve-O” set (led the NBA in screen assists) and the Grizzlies missed his rebounding prowess (led the NBA in offensive rebounds). Adams was strong in three games against Golden State this season, a +7.2 in 3 games played against the Warriors per basketball-reference.com. He played 65 minutes at that rate. The Warriors are the favorites in terms of betting at least - on DraftKings Golden State is -260 to take the series. The prediction here was Grizzlies in 5, but the struggles of Ja Morant (who had issues scoring consistently outside of Game 5 but impacted the series in other major ways through his passing and rebounding) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (fouls specifically) plus the impressive execution of game plan by Minnesota made that result get delayed a game. In fact, they did make (and lost) the Finals that year, and each of the last five times Golden State made the playoffs they got to the NBA Finals. Some things have changed of course - Kevin Durant and others aren’t around anymore, the Big Three of Curry/Thompson/Green are a few years older. And the Grizzlies need to consider going back to what they were before the Timberwolves forced a hard turn. For the first time since 2015, the Memphis Grizzlies closed out a playoff series with a win when they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6 of their first round NBA Playoff series.

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center in Minneapolis on Friday evening, and they will have a quick turnaround when they ...

- CHRIS PAUL MEETS WITH MEDIA AFTER GAME 6: The Phoenix Suns clinched their first-round playoff series with a win over the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 6 on Thursday evening. They had missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, but prior to that they had made five straight trips to the Finals and won three championships in that span. The win for the Grizzlies was the first series win of Ja Morant's young career, and he is now in the second-round of the playoffs going up against Steph Curry and the Warriros.

Steph Curry drew parallels between the rise of his Warriors and the Grizzlies team Golden State is set to face in the second round.

"All throughout those three years, we learned a lot about ourselves," Curry said, reflecting on the years leading up to their title run. But that series was a turning point for the Warriors, who went on to win the title that season. It's a team that's reminiscent of the Warriors as they started the climb into their dynastic era. This season, they finished with the second-best record in the league. Sure, Curry can still pass as the Baby-faced Assassin, but the truth of the matter is: The Warriors are the old team -- or veteran team, if you will. Before the entirety of the question could be asked, Curry interjected.

Klay Thompson (22.6 points per game in the playoffs) and Jordan Poole (21.0) also have scored early and often for Golden State. Andrew Wiggins is averaging 14.0 ...

"You definitely have got to celebrate moments like this," Jenkins said after the first-round win. Memphis held on for a 4-2 series win over the scrappy Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round. "He's a lot stronger," said Draymond Green, who is in his 10th season with Golden State. "When he's driving to the hole, what teams used to do is bump him off his path. But once he puts his head down and drives it, and he's committed to getting to the hole, he's strong enough to take those bumps and not get pushed off his path." He averaged 21.5 points, 10.5 assists and 8.7 rebounds in the six games against Minnesota. Golden State is coming off a 4-1 series win over the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. "It's a good feeling, but (we're) still not satisfied," he said. "You've got to cherish this. Stephen Curry is averaging 28.0 points in five games during the postseason. Winning a series, you don't want to take for granted. If you're not pressed up and overreacting to the shot, then he shoots, and good luck. The Memphis Grizzlies are new to the scene, coming off their first playoff series win in seven years.

Both led by their dynamic point guards, the Memphis Grizzlies will look to Ja Morant, while the Golden State Warriors will rely heavily on Steph Curry. The good ...

Having made quick work of the Denver Nuggets, Steph and the Warriors will look to advance to the Western Conference Finals, a place they have not been since 2019. The good news to begin this series, is that despite their injury troubles to end the regular season, both Ja Morant and Steph Curry are good to go for Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Each team has released their injury report, and for Memphis, it will be Steven Adams as the only guaranteed absence, with Ziaire Williams being listed as questionable. With the Memphis Grizzlies eliminating the Minnesota Timberwolves in six games, there will be a rematch of last year's play-in game between Memphis and Golden State. Both teams look drastically different than they did in last year's play-in tournament, when Memphis edged out Golden State in overtime; however, the star play at the top for both teams remains the same.
