Key match-up

Parker Fleming (@PAKA_FLOCKA):

There are numerous good match-ups this contest. What match-up would you consider the most important of the game?

Jake Peterson (@jakepetey22):

There are a lot of superstars in this game, but I’d like to focus on the point guard. Rubio vs Conley will be a big factor. Both are good defenders and distributors. All depends on who is able to control the offensive tempo more. The Timberwolves offense thrives when Rubio makes plays with his steals and passing. The Grizzlies strive when Conley is able to score and dish it in the post.
