Despite the absence from Chandler Parsons, the Memphis Grizzlies put it on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The first half was a close contest; however, when Karl-Anthony Towns had to sit the majority of the third quarter due to foul trouble, the Timberwolves couldn’t keep up.
While the Memphis Grizzlies did shoot an ugly 38.2 percent, they held Minnesota below 40 percent as well. More importantly, Vince Carter and Tony Allen did their jobs to shut down Andrew Wiggins. Coming into the game, Wiggins has been on a scoring tear, including a 47-point performance a few games ago.
