1st Quarter: Minnesota will take on a depleted, yet still dangerous Grizzlies team that is without star Zach Randolph. The Wolves hope to continue their undefeated 2012 campaign with another victory. The Wolves look a bit sloppy against a very aggressive and talented as they went up ahead 9-2 quickly. The Wolves look very sloppy and lethargic against this very aggressive team. The Timberwolves are now down 20-7. The Grizzlies are fortunately not putting out any offensive fireworks and have clawed back 20-12. The Timberwolves rookies are playing some great ball, and managed to pull the Timberwolves back to 20-14 at the end of the first quarter.
2nd Quarter: Anthony Randolph finally sees some playing time and the Timberwolves are looking to stretch the floor with Ricky running point. Rubio again is proving why the league is absolutely fawning over him with brillliant plays over and over again. However, the passing is again sloppy when Rubio is not running the offense and dropped down 35-23. Out of the Wolves timeout however, they came roaring back 37-31. But, the Timberwolves reverted back to their old ways and let the Grizzlies go on a mini-run to end the game.
3rd Quarter: The Wolves take the lead, through tough rebounding and good defense, something you would never have thought the Timberwolves would be able to do. However, the Grizzlies as mentioned above, use their tenacious defense and post game to get back into the game. Fortunately, Rubio came back into the game just in time as the Grizzlies were waking up from their slumber.
4th Quarter: The Wolves look to take this one back as they come into the fourth quarter far closer than they did when they started the game. Rubio and the Wolves are jacking up to many deep shots that are unnecessary. The Grizzlies are just going inside and getting quick and easy jumpers that are chipping away at the lead. Ridnour committed a flagrant foul and the Wolves are now down 72-68. Minnesota has now gone absolutely stone cold and hasn't made a shot in over 4 minutes. Ridnour finally breaks through with a 3 pointer to make 76-71. The Grizzlies are just absolutely locking down on the free throw line late in the game, and that is what is saving them right now. The Wolves gave it their all in the end, but they just couldn't pull it out this time.
