MINNEAPOLIS -- In one of the most dramatic comebacks in NBA postseason history, the Memphis Grizzlies clawed their way out of a 26-point hole on Thursday night to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-95. Improbably, the Grizzlies now lead the best-of-seven first-round series 2-1.
"We all know the game is never over until there are zeros on the clock," Grizzlies guard Ja Morant said.
The night couldn't have started more miserably for the Grizzlies, who fell behind 12-0 from the opening tip. Timberwolves D'Angelo Russell, who had been struggling in the series, found his rhythm in the pick-and-roll game against a beleaguered Memphis defense.
