Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies took care of business on Tuesday night, coming from behind yet again to steal away Game 5 of their first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Grizzlies were down for the most part of this contest and at one point, it looked like Minnesota was going to upset Memphis on their own home floor.

As it turns out, even the Timberwolves players thought they had this in the bag. According to Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane, Minnesota players were already starting to talk smack late in the game:

“Their players talking, ‘oh they about to fold, they about to fold,’ I knew that wasn’t the case,” Bane said, via Damichael Cole of Memphis News.

Well, that clearly backfired on the Timberwolves. There's just no quit in this Grizzlies team.

That's now twice that Minnesota has given up a sizeable lead to the Grizzlies. Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday night and you can be sure that both teams will be putting everything on the line. It's a do-or-die game for Minnesota who will see their season come to an end if they are unable to win and force a Game 7.
