When Patrick Beverley first arrived with the Timberwolves, he said one of the first things he asked coach Chris Finch was: "What do you think of our rebounding?"
Beverley said Finch told him they were a "very thin" team and that it might be a struggle.
Throughout the season the Wolves were one of the worst defensive rebounding teams in the league, and in Memphis, they have been facing the best offensive rebounding team in the league by percentage.
The series is more complicated than one stat, but when the Wolves have kept the Grizzlies off the offensive glass, they have won.
