“Will the Timberwolves’ Secret Weapon Turn the Tables Against the Grizzlies in a Must-Win Showdown?”
This brings me to the first reason that I like the T-Wolves Thursday: The Grizzlies didn’t get better after firing former head coach Taylor Jenkins two weeks ago. Their current win streak is more about who they’ve played than them playing better, and Minnesota is a step-up from Memphis’s recent competition.Â
Also, the Grizzlies have been awful at defending 3-pointers. Since the NBA All-Star break, they are 27th in defensive “wide open” 3-point-attempt rate (3PAr) and 26th in defensive 3-point shooting percentage. The Timberwolves are sixth in 3PAr and fifth in offensive 3-point shooting percentage.Â
