Let’s take a look at the Memphis Grizzlies and how they’ll match-up with the Timberwolves during the 2016-17 season, in light of the season series from a year ago.
The Tale of the Tape: Minnesota split the season series with the Grizzlies 2-2 last year, with each team taking a ‘W’ both on the road and at home. The teams match-up very similarly, and despite being the seventh-seed in the Western Conference last year, the Grizzlies struggled to keep up with the young Wolves roster. Both teams breached the century mark in these high scoring affairs, which is uncharacteristic of a Memphis team that ranked just outside the top-10 in defense last year.
