Rookie power forward Deyonta Davis led the way for the Grizzlies, scoring 17 points and grabbing six rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench.

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.
