Welcome back to your Grizzlies Insider, where we deliver the latest NBA news and analysis straight to your inbox. This week, we’ll be bringing you extra additions of the Insider as the Memphis Grizzlies take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

But there is one thing for sure. Timberwolves fans did not like it. And Grizzlies fans, well, they didn’t see it in quite the same way.
