It writes: "The Grizzlies will have to look past their debacle in Game 1. This is a team that’s proven plenty of naysayers wrong this season. It’s time to the critics why they are wrong about Memphis again. Ja Morant scored 32 points in Game 1 and should play with even more energy in Game 2 after tweeting what appeared to be a “taking notes” emoji following the loss to Minnesota. Jaren Jackson Jr. showed why he’s one of the best defensive players in the league when he posted seven blocks in Game 1 to go with 12 points. He is also due to be better on offense after making just four shots on 13 attempts. And even with JJJ struggling, the Grizzlies scored more points in the paint than Minnesota, 60-50. Perhaps Jackson will have to cut down on his shots from deep and opt to be more aggressive in taking higher-percentage shots."
Dimers: Grizzlies 122, Timberwolves 116
