MEMPHIS – It was less than a week ago that Wolves guard Shabazz Napier was talking about his frustration. He had always been a shooter, a threat from long range. He had been putting in the work in practice, watching three after three go through the net. But in games? Not so much.
“But there’s a lot of NBA left for us,’’ he said. “The only way you can do it is to continue to look up, stride forward.’’
Fast forward, one week.
Napier entered Tuesday’s game against the Grizzlies in Memphis having scored 20 or more points in four consecutive games, the best such streak in his six seasons.
