MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies tip off Game 5 of their NBA Western Conference 1st Round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the FedExForum.
The Grizzlies lost a frustrating Game 4 Saturday in Minneapolis, 119-118, in which Ja Morant had just 11 points but Desmond Bane posted his second straight night with at least seven made 3-point shots.
Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins was fined $15,000 by the NBA for postgame comments he made about Game 4's referees, which he called, "one of the worst-officiated games of my NBA career."
Ja Morant comes into Tuesday's game having just been named the NBA's Most Improved Player for 2021-2022, although he attempted to give the honor to teammate Desmond Bane in a now-viral Twitter video.
The Grizzlies will look to take a pivotal 3-2 lead in a series that has been hotly contested for three out of the four games played so far.
