Timberwolves Wrap: Wolves beat Grizzlies, 106-101
The Timberwolves once again blew a large lead but this time held on to win a close game down the stretch, 106-101 over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Wolves led by as many at 16 points late in the first half and 11 at halftime before allowing the visiting Grizzlies to tie the contest with 2:01 remaining on the clock.
But other than one more tie coming at the 1:28 mark, the Wolves rode Ricky Rubio’s aggressiveness to a big win on Saturday night. The Timberwolves’ point guard baited Mike Conley into a tough blocking call and made one of two free throws before drawing a shooting foul on the next possession to stretch Minnesota’s lead to three points.
