The Grizzlies are a win away from advancing out of the first round. Ja Morant was clutch in the Game 5 win, hitting some big shots down the stretch as Memphis came back from a big deficit. It seems like jumping out to a lead is a problem in this series, as both teams have blown big leads over the five games so far.
The Timberwolves might need to get someone to protest again, as the team hasn’t lost every time that has happened. Karl-Anthony Towns finally had a major performance in Game 5, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. We’ll see if he and Anthony Edwards can force a Game 7.
