The host Memphis Grizzlies took down the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves , 102 - 98 , in their season opener Wednesday . Minnesota quickly jumped out to a 20 - 3 lead to begin the game , leaving Memphis in a tight spot almost immediately . The Grizzlies answered with a lightning - fast run of their own , however , and managed to exit the first quarter trailing by only three points . While reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns scored nine points in the first five minutes of the contest , the Grizzlies were able to keep him relatively quiet during the second and third quarters . Towns still finished with a respectable 21 points . Veteran center Marc Gasol , who Towns has called his toughest matchup , made this no easy feat , however , recording four blocks to go along with 18 points . Two other members of Memphis 's longstanding core , Mike Conley and Zach Randolph , also contributed heavily in the points column , scoring 24 and 19 respectively . While Memphis 's veterans drove the win , Minnesota saw major contributions from their younger players . Third-year wing Andrew Wiggins led the team in scoring , posting 25 points , while high - flying young guard Zach LaVine dropped in 19 . Towns , meanwhile , added five assists and four rebounds to complement his scoring output . The contest was also the NBA debut for rookie Kris Dunn , the fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft . Dunn played behind LaVine and Ricky Rubio , clocking just 15 minutes of game time . He contributed eight points and four rebounds during that time on the floor . The Wolves will visit Sacramento on Saturday , while Memphis will take to the road to face the Knicks . Points came from the usual suspects on both sides as the Grizzlies beat the Timberwovles on Wednesday . For Minnesota , third - year guard/forward Andrew Wiggins started the season with a 25 - point scoring spectacle . The high output was unsurprising for Wiggins , who averaged over 20 points per game for the first time in his career last season . Reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns joined Wiggins as the only other Timberwolve to crack 20 in the game , posting 21 points including nine in the first five minutes . For Memphis , meanwhile , veterans Marc Gasol , Zach Randolph and Mike Conley all scored 18 or more to lead the victory . Gasol stepped it up on the defensive end as well , blocking four shots . In a testament to the tightness of the game , both teams made exactly 36 field goals and recorded 45 rebounds .
