The Timberwolves victory over Memphis on Saturday was among the most attention-getting outcomes in the opening games of the NBA playoffs. The Grizzlies were favored, trailed throughout and lost home-court advantage in addition to the game.
As the Grizzlies try to regroup for tonight's Game 2 (7:30 p.m., BSN and NBATV), here's some of what's being said and written in the Memphis media:
- Jaren Jackson Jr. set a team playoff record with seven blocked shots, but knows he needs to play better after the Wolves torched Memphis for 130 points.
From DaMichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal: Jackson had 12 points and four rebounds on 4-for-13 shooting.
