Look what Mendatius T. Roll found in his Easter basket! Trolls like foods that are the same color as their hair, so he was very happy.
The Minnesota Timberwolves rained down threes on Memphis yesterday afternoon, stealing the first game in the playoff series 130-117. The Grizzlies will need to come back strong in Game 2 at FedExForum, 7:30 PM Tuesday, on NBAtv. FiveThirtyEight’s updated NBA predictions now give the Grizzlies only a 44% chance of moving on to the Western Conference semis. It’s clear this will not be as easy as Memphis had hoped – if they win the series, it’s going to be like getting Wordle right on the 6th guess and the computer comments, “Phew.”

A man has been charged with DUI after backing into a police car on Gayoso Friday night. Police say he has multiple previous DUIs, and that he told them, “I’ve had a few drinks, but I’m not ****** up.” Dude. You have the right to remain silent.
Former Memphis Tigers Tyler Harris and Emoni Bates have entered the NBA transfer portal. A DM article notes that it wasn’t Harris’ choice to enter the portal; Penny is cleaning house and the staff asked him to move on. The same is likely true with Bates.

A woman threw political flyers on the floor and chained herself to a basketball goal at yesterday’s Grizzlies game, causing the game to be temporarily stopped. She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass and will appear in court tomorrow.
Happy Easter and I’ll be back tomorrow with more news.
