The Memphis Grizzlies had a 16-5 run in the fourth quarter to escape Monday's game against the Timberwolves with a win.
Jaren Jackson Jr. had 24 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, and Desmond Bane added 22 points as the Memphis Grizzlies used a late rally to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-106.
