Timberwolves fail to contain Ja Morant late, drop Game 5 to the Memphis Grizzlies

The Minnesota Timberwolves led for much of Game 5, but struggled defensively on Ja Morant down the stretch and allowed the Memphis Grizzlies to come from behind and win. Conversely, the Wolves did a strong job getting the ball to Karl-Anthony Towns early in the game, but the late-game offense devolved into too much isolation play for Minnesota. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down what happened, including what the Grizzlies did well to ensure that Morant had advantageous matchups to exploit.
