MEMPHIS – Before Game 1 of the Timberwolves-Grizzlies series, D'Angelo Russell discussed how he wasn't quite focused for his first playoff series when he played for Brooklyn.
"Last time I was there it was more of, 'Wow I'm here. This is what dream of, this is what you watch on TV,' " Russell said. "It's more of that rookie feeling of being in the league and still being a fan of these guys. That playoff series felt like I was still in awe."
This was a question coming in for a lot of Russell's Wolves teammates — how would they do in their first playoff experience?
