The first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs came to a close Friday night as the Grizzles reversed a 13-point deficit against the Timberwolves and defeated Minnesota 40-22 in the fourth quarter to earn their ticket to the semifinals round. It is the first time for Memphis in seven years that it has advanced to the playoffs.
Memphis is now gearing up to face Golden State on Sunday. The Celtics, who swept the nets, will also turn their attention to reigning NBA champion Bucks in Game 1 of their semifinal series on Sunday.
The Suns will open their second round against the Mavericks on Monday while Miami will look to capitalize in Game 1 of their series against Philadelphia without Joel Embiid. The star is reportedly out indefinitely with a fractured right eye socket and a minor concussion sustained in Thursday night’s Game 6 win over the Raptors.
