Grizzlies outscored the Timberwolves 50-16 in the last 15 minutes. On the road. With key guys playing poorly. Insane.

Ten years ago this month, the Clippers came from 27 down to beat the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies just came from 26 down to beat the Timberwolves. Go. Crazy.

This is the most embarrassing moment of my life being a Timberwolves fan. Granted it’s only been 4 days but still. No heart. No fight.
