Grizzlies, plagued by fouls, fall to Timberwolves in Game 4

The tweets from Saturday’s first-round playoff series game was overwhelmingly about the ridiculous number of fouls called against the Grizzlies, with a small break from another protestor. 

Bally Sports’ Grizzlies sideline reporter Rob Fischer is known for his intentionally gaudy style, and he’s in search of a new store to supply his wacky outfits. Can you help?

With the IARP case unresolved and a roster in flux, landing the top guard out of the transfer portal was a coup.

Quarterbacks Seth Henigan and Grant Gunnell got their chances to air it out, and the defense played its cards close to the vest.

The former SMU guard knows Memphis loves its basketball, was wooed by Ja Morant and is on board with Hardaway’s roster ideas.

The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, April 23, for Game 4 of Round 1 of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. 

Kyle Anderson said the key to closing out a playoff series is to remain focused, but play with a sense of urgency.

On this episode of The Daily Memphian’s Memphis Grizzlies Podcast, Drew Hill and Chris Herrington describe the emotional swings felt inside Target Center during the Grizzlies’ historic Game 3 comeback. 

The Tigers will host Texas A&M at FedExForum next season. It could be a signature game for Memphis as the program continues to reshape its roster ahead of coach Penny Hardaway’s fifth season.

“Hometown booing him,” Tre Jones, Tyus Jones’ brother, tweeted. “They sick.” Yes, they were. But Tyus Jones was all smiles.
