Summer League: Grizzlies 65, Timberwolves 66

In a close loss to the T-Wolves, Sam Young continued to be the bright spot of the Memphis Grizzlies summer league adventure. Everyone else continued to disappoint.

Young scored 25 points on 11-20 shooting (including 3-5 from beyond the arc) and helped keep the Grizzlies in the game against a pesky Timberwolves squad. Young has been on fire through the Grizzlies first four games, averaging 23.5 points, including 58% from the field and 45% from the 3-point line.

The rest of the Grizzlies, however, have been largely underwhelming during the summer league. After a great performance against the D-League Select team, Hasheem Thabeet scored just 6 points on 2-7 shooting and committed 8 personal fouls. Greivis Vasquez again proved unable to run the point effectively, turning the ball over 4 times and routinely making poor passing decisions.

Overall, it was a frustrating night for the Grizzlies. For some inexplicable reason, the team was 9-21 from the free-throw line. Additionally, the Griz turned the ball over 24 times and were a -5 on the rebounding margin.

The Grizzlies final summer league game is this afternoon against the San Antonio Spurs.
