The Minnesota Timberwolves may have some new faces in, but Friday night’s 128-107 loss at the Memphis Grizzlies came down to the same issue that has plagued their worst stretches this season: sloppiness.
The Wolves, who entered the night ranked third-to-last in both turnovers per game and turnover percentage per NBA.com, coughed it up 17 times, leading to 18 Grizzlies points in Minnesota’s eighth-straight loss in Memphis. The Wolves’ lack of discipline with the ball was likely a key reason for the acquisition of Mike Conley, who played his first game for the Wolves after being traded to Minnesota in a deal that sent D’Angelo Russell to the Lakers.
