Overview

  • Jaren Jackson Jr. powered Memphis with 28 points and 12 rebounds, while Jock Landale added 20 points, 10 boards and a late 3-pointer that doubled the lead inside the final two minutes.
  • The Grizzlies erased a nine-point deficit with a 14-0 third-quarter run to take control, then closed out a 116-110 road win at Target Center on Dec. 17.
  • Minnesota’s offense unraveled after halftime with poor shooting and limited ball movement, prompting coach Chris Finch to call it “a horrendous night offensively.”
  • Both teams were without their star guards, as Anthony Edwards missed a third straight game with right foot maintenance and Ja Morant sat with a left ankle sprain.
  • Jaylen Wells scored 17 and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 12 for Memphis, while Julius Randle led Minnesota with 21 as Rudy Gobert posted 16 points and 16 rebounds and Donte DiVincenzo had 19 and 11.
