 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Timberwolves said defense and controlling the tempo were the keys to beating the Grizzlies. Kevin Garnett had 28 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks, Ricky Davis added 27 points and seven assists, and Minnesota weathered Memphis' late rally to defeat the Grizzlies 116-110 on Friday night.
The 116 points were a season-high for Minnesota, but down the stretch the Timberwolves made stops against the Grizzlies, while Memphis' lack of defense prevented them from overtaking Minnesota.
"We had to make sure we didn't get into a Memphis-type of game, up and down, back and forth, bucket for bucket," Garnett said. "We didn't want to do that. We wanted to slow them down and make them do something else."
