When the Grizzlies trailed the Timberwolves 47–21 early in the second quarter of Game 3, all of the momentum inside Target Center belonged to Minnesota. Even in third quarter, the Timberwolves looked as if they would cruise to 2–1 in the series as they held a 20-point lead.
Memphis, however, had other plans. The Grizzlies went on a scorching 21–0 run in the late third and early quarter to tie the game at 83.
In a stunning turn of events, Memphis kept the momentum and outscored Minnesota by 25 points in the fourth quarter to earn the 104–95 come-from-behind victory.
