Remember When The Timberwolves Refused To Shoot 3-Pointers? A franchise that was once shy about taking 3’s has quickly become one of the NBA’s highest-volume shooting teams. Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports The Minnesota Timberwolves trailed the Memphis Grizzlies by 13 points early in the third quarter on Wednesday. While Memphis led 73-63 at halftime, the lead quickly grew to 79-66 just a few minutes into the third. It felt like the Grizzlies were beginning to pull away. Karl-Anthony Towns was in foul trouble and the offense was having trouble getting going. Simply put, this was not where the Timberwolves wanted to be against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies.
