Game Recap:
Minnesota got off to a more even start then most of the recent games. The teams were knotted after the first quarter. In the 2nd quarter the teams were mainly tied for most of it, but Minnesota ended the quarter on top. In the 3rd quarter the Wolves pulled a lead for a while. By the end they had a 10 point lead entering the 4th quarter. But as per usual lately, the Wolves entered the final 5 minutes looking at a lead that had been cut to 3 points. With 2 minutes to go they had lost the lead and were trailing by 1. The Grizzlies ended up winning by 8 points.

Overall the Wolves had a decent game, they just couldn't get it done in the final minutes. Anthony Edwards had a much better game then he has since Game 1. Another surprise player was Jaden McDaniels. He had the game of his life last night in the biggest moment of his young career. If he can find a way to bring this out next season, he will be a big player for Minnesota and a candidate for Most Improved Player.
