Last time these two teams played John Konchar had 17 rebounds. Probably can’t happen again if they want to win. – 7:53 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

No coincidence Memphis breaks off a methodical 10-2 run and ties Temple (27-27) once DeAndre Williams, Lester Quinones and Landers Nolley return to the game with 2 fouls. Penny Hardaway making rotation decisions this game with the sort of urgency the moment requires. – 7:50 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz

Memphis goes on a 10-2 run since Penny put Landers and Lester back in with two fouls. Now 27-27. – 7:48 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Memphis is all out of sorts here against Temple, down 25-17 after a 15-2 Owls run in the first half. Landers Nolley, DeAndre Williams and Lester Quinones all with 2 fouls. Weird lineups and weird vibe as a result. – 7:37 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin

Tyrese Maxey is not at practice. It’s an excused absence as he had issues traveling out of Texas to Minnesota. #Sixers – 7:17 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR

Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies

That is it for Coach Jenkins and that is it for me for now. I’ll be back for the game itself as Memphis starts the final quarter of the season in Minnesota tonight against the TImberwolves, and @PAKA_FLOCKA will finish the night with postgame media availability. @JoeMullinax out – 6:44 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies

Jenkins says that Minnesota is unique offensively because of what they do with KAT as a shooter and their perimeter weapons. Rotations must be sound as well as their one on one defensive opportunities. Coach also said limiting second chance scoring is a key. – 6:43 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies

I asked Jenkins what Minnesota did to disrupt Ja offensively the last three games. He said they threw a lot of bodies and blitzes at him the last three games and that Morant has improved as the season has gone on when dealing with that type of pressure. – 6:42 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC

Taylor Jenkins is hoping Dillon Brooks can start doing some contact things early next week. Brooks is still on track to return in early March – 6:39 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies

Dillon Brooks is “progressing well”, says Jenkins. Still on the early March timeline with the goal of more contact drills next week. – 6:37 PM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies

Tyus Jones deserves credit for his offensive improvements, says Jenkins. “He’s a very gifted playmaker for us…he’s done a great job putting in the work…it’s just confidence.” – 6:36 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
