Points came from the usual suspects on both sides as the Grizzlies beat the Timberwovles on Wednesday. For Minnesota, third - year guard/forward Andrew Wiggins started the season with a 25 - point scoring spectacle. The high output was unsurprising for Wiggins, who averaged over 20 points per game for the first time in his career last season. Reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns joined Wiggins as the only other Timberwolve to crack 20 in the game, posting 21 points including nine in the first five minutes. For Memphis, meanwhile, veterans Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Mike Conley all scored 18 or more to lead the victory. Gasol stepped it up on the defensive end as well, blocking four shots. In a testament to the tightness of the game, both teams made exactly 36 field goals and recorded 45 rebounds.
