In Game 1, the Timberwolves made a statement. In Games 2 and 3 the Grizzlies responded with resounding statements of their own.
Game 3 saw Memphis take back home-court advantage by winning in Minnesota 104-95.
The Grizzlies tied the third-largest playoff comeback in the play-by-play era in Game 3, coming back from down 26 to stun the Timberwolves.
Beginning late in the third quarter the Grizzlies started a 21-0 run that the Wolves could not recover from.

The story of the game for the Timberwolves was, once again, Karl-Anthony Towns. After being limited to just 28 minutes of play in the previous game due to foul trouble, Towns had another quiet performance, totaling just four shot attempts against the blitzing Grizzlies defense.
If the Timberwolves are going to bounce back at home, they'll need Towns and D'Angelo Russell to step up, and Minnesota as a team will have to do a better job of keeping the Grizzlies' role players in check.
