All four wins have been by double-digits.<\/p>\n<p>Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels had 20 points apiece for the Timberwolves, Reid adding nine rebounds. Rudy Gobert grabbed 16 boards and added a pair of blocks.<\/p>\n<p>Ty Jerome, playing in his first game of the season after recovering from a right calf strain, led Memphis with 20 points and six assists but could not prevent the Grizzlies from losing their sixth straight.<\/p>\n<p>GG Jackson added 19 points and Jaylen Wells had 15.<\/p>\n<p>Memphis has struggled of late, its losing streak coming amid injuries and reports the team is willing to trade star guard Ja Morant before Thursday&#8217;s deadline. Morant was one of seven Memphis rotation players who sat out against the Timberwolves. Memphis did get the return of Jerome, signed as a free agent last summer. <\/p>\n<p>Memphis had long-range shooting problems in the first half, making only one of its first 18 attempts from outside the 3-point arc. In the third quarter, Minnesota extended a 58-49 halftime lead to 92-73, making 12 of its first 16 shots in the quarter.
