The Minnesota Timberwolves ( 22 - 46 ) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies ( 39 - 29 ) Wednesday night at FedExForum , 114 - 108 . The final score made this one look closer than it was , as the Timberwolves opened up a 17 - point lead with a 42 - 25 first quarter , and the Grizzlies did n't pull any closer than nine points until late in the fourth quarter . Minnesota 's largest lead was 20 in the third quarter as Memphis 's lineup was exceptionally thin - - with Mike Conley , P.J . Hairston and Marc Gasol already out long - term , Zach Randolph ( knee ) , Chris Andersen ( shoulder ) and Vince Carter ( calf ) were unable to suit up , and Lance Stephenson had to play 36 minutes despite suffering a wrist injury over the weekend . Zach LaVine led all scorers with 28 points , tying his second - highest output this season , as he knocked down six three - pointers and shot 11 - 19 from the floor . Karl-Anthony Towns scored 18 points ( 5 - 8 FG , 8 - 9 FT ) , grabbed 10 rebounds , dished four assists , nabbed two steals and blocked a shot . The Wolves ran ragged over the Grizzlies defense , as they shot 56 percent from the floor and 10 - 21 ( 48 percent ) from the three - point line and assisted on 31 of their 40 made baskets . Stephenson 's 24 points off the bench led the Grizzlies , and he added 11 rebounds and seven assists in a valiant effort . Memphis got double - doubles from Jeff Green ( 18 points , 10 rebounds ) and Matt Barnes ( 14 points , 10 rebounds ) and managed to grab an absurd 27 offensive rebounds on 56 missed shots . Their work on the boards almost fueled an unlikely comeback , but their poor shooting from deep ( 4 - 20 , 20 percent ) was too much to overcome . The Timberwolves continue their road trip Friday against the Rockets . The Grizzlies take off for a Thursday matchup against the Bucks .
