A lot has changed since April 9th for both the Memphis Grizzlies (9-5) and Minnesota Timberwolves (7-9). This was the last time these two clubs faced in the NBA’s regular season.
The last time Memphis played in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Grizzlies were one game away from finishing the 2017-18 season with a record of 22-60. The injury-riddled season was thankfully coming to a close. It was the end of seven consecutive seasons of clinching a playoff berth.
On the Timberwolves’ side, the multi-tier relationship between Karl-Anthony Towns, Jimmy Butler, and the Wolves organization flared many times and was only recently resolved.
