- Grizzlies vs Timberwolves final score, highlights: Memphis earns comeback win on MLK Day
The Memphis Grizzlies' winning streak is at three games.
Monday's win was the most improbable, with Memphis erasing a double-digit deficit to earn an impressive 108-106 comeback win over the Timberwolves on MLK Day at FedExForum. The Grizzlies trailed 100-95 before reeling off an 11-0 run to take a lead they ultimately never relinquished.

The Timberwolves got the ball back down by two points with five seconds to play, but Anthony Edwards' last second-shot didn't go.
It was the third straight win for the Grizzlies, who beat San Antonio twice last week. GG Jackson made his season debut after offseason foot surgery and had four points in 10 minutes.
Memphis is back in action on Wednesday at FedExForum against the Charlotte Hornets .
