After that, things didn’t go as he planned.
After a first quarter in which the Timberwolves lost 39 points to Memphis’ 21 points, they suddenly forgot how to score and managed just 56 points in the rest of the game. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, lost 83, including a fourth quarter in which they beat the Timberwolves 37-12. Their win from 26 behind is the third-greatest playoff comeback in the play-by-play era, according to ESPN Stats & Information Research.
As a result, Town’s “We in Minnesota now!” Celebration has not aged well. It also didn’t escape the attention of Ja Morant, who had a triple-double (16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) in the Grizzlies’ 104-95 win. Morant unleashed a huge fire on Towns on Twitter after the game ended – and all he had to do was quote Towns’ words to him.
Yes don’t forget 😅
