Fri Apr 11 02:00:00 UTC 2025: **Timberwolves Face Must-Win Game Against Grizzlies After Crushing Milwaukee Collapse**
MEMPHIS, TN – The Minnesota Timberwolves find themselves in a desperate fight for playoff survival after a stunning collapse against the Milwaukee Bucks. Having blown a 24-point lead in the fourth quarter on Tuesday, the Wolves now face a critical matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night at FedEx Forum (8:30 PM CDT, TNT/TruTV/MAX/FanDuel Sports Network North).
The loss to Milwaukee dropped the Timberwolves into a four-way tie for the 6-seed with identical 46-32 records. A victory over the Grizzlies would significantly improve their playoff seeding prospects, while a defeat would likely send them into the play-in tournament.
“What happened in Milwaukee wasn’t just bad—it was catastrophic,” a Timberwolves insider stated. The team’s late-game meltdown, attributed to poor ball movement and excessive turnovers, has left the franchise facing a defining moment.
The Grizzlies game represents a pivotal point for several key players. Karl-Anthony Towns, who finished with a subpar 6 points and 9 rebounds against the Bucks, needs a strong performance to solidify the team’s interior presence. Similarly, Anthony Edwards must avoid the hero-ball tendencies that plagued his fourth-quarter performance in Milwaukee and instead exhibit the playmaking abilities that define his all-star potential.
The game will be broadcast nationally on TNT, TruTV, and MAX. For Timberwolves fans, it’s a must-watch, potentially defining the team’s postseason fate.
