Marc Gasol missed the game with a sprained left ankle, and Zach Randolph left during the game to a lower back injury.
Without them, the Grizzlies were outrebounded 44-39 and outscored 50-44 in the paint.
Game 3:
Timberwolves 89 Grizzlies 109
(08 draft competition) beasley #2 and love #7 vs mayo #3
Grizzlies took a quick lead 23 to 4, and never looked back.
Randolph isn't back yet.
Next game is versus the Lakers! Should be a great game.
Out West the Grizzlies are probably my favourite team. I'm not a major fan of any of the West teams but I'm a HUGE fan of Rudy Gay and Mike Conley is really growing on me too. I like OJ too although he's a bit tentative at times and is yet to fulfill his potential - and Marc Gasol is just a beast.
Now I'm trying to think if there are any other teams in the West that I like... Sacramento! I like them too.
It was a slow start for the grizzlies, by halftime it was clear the grizzlies were being outplayed.
Really missed Zach Randolph this game!
The 4th was all bench, the grizzlies bench forced 4 turnovers in a row, pretty exciting.
