Wolves record: 1-10

Box Score

 





The Timberwolves lost their 10th straight game Saturday, falling 97-87 to the Memphis Grizzlies. Though they were without forwards Al Jefferson and Kevin Love, they had their chances against a team that had been struggling equally.

"When you have two key components out, it's very difficult to get wins," coach Kurt Rambis said. "But again, I just admire the guys who went out there and played hard. They did a lot of good things out there. Our problem is, just not enough."

Minnesota played to a 45-45 tie at halftime, then slowly succumbed to Memphis, which snapped a seven-game losing streak and improved to 2-8.

 

The Wolves new point guard tandem of Jonny Flynn and Ramon Sessions was a mixed bag tonight. Flynn did not look good. He scored a little (10 points) but mostly just because he threw up a lot of shots (14). And he continued a season-long trend of actually having more turnovers (6) than assists (3). This was my first up-close look at Flynn and it's only one game early in his rookie year, but I don't really see huge upside here: He's a small guard with good but not quite electric athleticism, a work-in-progress jumper, and so-so playmaking ability. He is aggressive. Better tonight was Ramon Sessions who came off the bench for 13 points and 8 assists, splitting time between both backcourt spots, his quick first step giving O.J. Mayo, in particular, fits.
