Report: Timberwolves Held Players-Only Meeting Ahead of Game 6 vs. Grizzlies

There is a sense of desperation within the team as they prepare to face the Memphis Grizzles in Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Wolves held a players-only meeting on Wednesday.

Minnesota was coming off a disappointing loss after blowing a double-digit fourth-quarter lead and giving up a last-second go-ahead layup to Ja Morant in Tuesday's Game 5.

Haynes wrote that players watched additional film, challenged each other to play with urgency and stressed the importance of moving the ball.

The Timberwolves struggled in the series due to offensive stagnation and predictability.

The offense has too many guys who want to go one-on-one. The ad nauseum is not how you are going to win these games, according to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.

Haynes reported that the players left the practice facility believing they can win two games in a row.

In its two wins against Memphis, Minnesota has shown it can win. The Wolves blew a 26 point lead in the third game and were defeated by 28 in the second game.

Minnesota will be extra motivated to avoid elimination on Friday.
