Get ready for a thrilling NBA recap! The Timberwolves' comeback story will leave you on the edge of your seat.
In a highly anticipated clash on March 3rd, 2026, the Minnesota Timberwolves showcased their resilience, overcoming a sluggish start to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 117-110. This victory, their fourth in a row and seventh out of eight games, solidified their position as the fourth-best team in the Western Conference.
But here's where it gets controversial... The Timberwolves' star, Anthony Edwards, fresh from being named the Western Conference Player of the Week, dominated the fourth quarter. With a scorching 13 points, including three long-range bombs, Edwards led his team to a decisive win. This performance marked his ninth 40-point game of the season, and the crowd's chants of "MVP!" echoed through the arena.
However, the first half belonged to the Grizzlies. Trailing by 11 points and shooting a dismal 3 of 16 from beyond the arc, the Timberwolves looked out of sorts. But Edwards, with all three of the Wolves' 3-pointers, kept them in the game.
Jaylen Wells, the Grizzlies' leading scorer with 19 points, helped Memphis take a 62-57 lead into halftime. But the Timberwolves weren't done yet.
In the third quarter, Minnesota's defense stepped up, and they finally tied the game at 72-all. Edwards then took over, converting a crucial layup to put the Wolves ahead 74-72. From that moment on, the Timberwolves never looked back.
And this is the part most people miss... The Timberwolves' dominance on the boards played a pivotal role. Out-rebounding the Grizzlies 51-33, they controlled the paint and set the tone for their comeback.
In a heartwarming reunion, Kyle Anderson, who previously played for Minnesota in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, returned to the court for the Wolves just a day after being released by Memphis. Anderson, coming off the bench, contributed two points in 13 minutes.
As the Timberwolves prepare to host Toronto on Thursday, the Grizzlies will look to bounce back when they face Portland on Wednesday.
So, who do you think will be the MVP this season? And will the Timberwolves continue their winning streak? Let's discuss in the comments!
