The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 116 - 80 at Target Center on Tuesday . The Grizzlies ( 2 - 2 ) had essentially conceded the game before tip - off , as they rested both Marc Gasol and Mike Conley on the front end of a back - to - back . This resulted in some major offensive struggles for the Grizzlies , with four of their five starters failing to score in double figures , despite all of them playing at least 20 minutes . Additionally , as a team , Memphis shot a lowly 37 percent from the field and 17 percent from behind the arc . Rookie power forward Deyonta Davis led the way for the Grizzlies , scoring 17 points and grabbing six rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench . Troy Williams and Andrew Harrison were the only other Memphis players to score in double figures , scoring 14 and 12 points respectively in extended action . For the Timberwolves ( 1 - 2 ) , they notched their first win of the season in effortless fashion . Zach LaVine shined in the outing , scoring a game - high 31 points in just 29 minutes . LaVine could n't miss , shooting a scorching 11 - of - 18 from the field and 5 - of - 9 from long range . Rookie point guard Kris Dunn also stood out in his rookie debut with Ricky Rubio out with a sprained right elbow , recording 10 points , six assists , four rebounds and five steals in 29 minutes . Everything else was the status quo for Minnesota , as Andrew Wiggins managed to record 17 points , while Karl-Anthony Towns posted a double - double of 11 points and 10 rebounds . For the Grizzlies , they 'll head home Wednesday to take on the Pelicans , while the Timberwolves will return to action on Thursday against the Nuggets . With Marc Gasol and Mike Conley held out to rest on the front end of a back - to - back and Zach Randolph being held to just 10 minutes of playing time , the Grizzlies got the take a closer look at some of their younger players . The biggest beneficiary was rookie power forward Deyonta Davis , who after playing a combined eight minutes in Memphis ' first three games , played 26 minutes Tuesday night and recorded 17 points , six rebounds and two blocks in that time . Another rookie who benefited was small forward Troy Williams out of Indiana , who managed just 10 minutes in the team 's first three games and played 30 minutes on Wednesday . In that time , he scored 14 points on an effective 4 - of - 7 shooting from the field while managing to hit six of his seven free throw attempts . The play of the young Grizzlies Tuesday could potentially lead to head coach David Fizdale feeling more confident about going deeper into his bench moving forward .
