Jaren Jackson Jr. played a nasty trick on the Wolves in this new MLK Day game. The interior of the Grizzlies was essential in the victory of his team, and now they are again “fine in the West”.
The home stats for this match are here
Triple J is making a serious case for the All-Star Game this season. Invested with a mission, he allowed his Bears to overcome a deficit that seemed difficult to fill. Indeed, the Grizzlies chased the score all game, and were still trailing by 9 points in the middle of the final period.
But that was before JJJ took matters into his own hands, because the interior pulled out a masterclass to overthrow all of Minnesota. Whether in defense or attack, he was essential from the top of his 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. Salvation came from him with 15 points in the last quarter alone. With a clumsy Ja Morant, and an efficient but more discreet Desmond Bane, it was Jaren Jackson Jr. who took everyone on his shoulders to beat the Wolves to the post.

Anthony Edwards (32 points) tried everything but betrayed by his interior pair Rudy Gobert – Julius Randle, who shot at 1/5 and 2/13 respectively, he could not avoid defeat. We could have heard Karim Benzema muttering “they’re playing against us bro” if he had been a Minnesota Timberwolves player.
Coming back to Ant-Man, he left the game on a nasty air-ball during the last possession, and it was the big game for Naz Reid, author of 29 points (11/20 shooting including 5/10 from distance) and 8 reboundswhich goes up in smoke. Edwards also let points slip away at the free throw line (13/18), and attempted complicated 3-point shots at the end of the match. We don’t say that to throw stones at him, rather to point out the poor offensive execution of the Wolves in the money-time when they had the match in hand.
Enough to seal the fate of the Wolves.
