The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the host Utah Jazz, 102 - 95, at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Saturday. In a battle between two of the best defenses in the NBA, this game was tight throughout. Despite there being just two ties and seven lead changes, neither team led by more than 12 points. The Grizzlies did their most damage in the second quarter, winning that quarter, 26 - 16. Memphis had one of their best shooting games of the season, hitting 51 percent from the field, 90 percent from the free - throw line and 42 percent from three - point range. The turnover differential was big for the Grizzlies, as they won that battle, 13 - 7. The Grizzlies (28 - 20) have struggled on offense all season long, but a 102 - point outing against the Utah Jazz is just what the doctor ordered. Zach Randolph was the catalyst, as he scored a season - high 28 points off the bench, while also grabbing nine boards. Mike Conley led the starters in scoring, tallying 23 points, three rebounds and three assists. Marc Gasol was the only other Memphis player in double figures, as he accumulated 18 points, four rebounds and five assists. The Grizzlies will be on the road for their next game on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. The Jazz (30 - 19) did have five players score at least 14 points, but the other five players combined for just 15 points in total. Rodney Hood led the team in scoring, as he dropped 20 points, with very little else to his name. Gordon Hayward went just 4 - of - 13 from the field, but accrued 14 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Rudy Gobert totaled 15 points and nine rebounds, while George Hill collected 16 points, three rebounds and five assists. Alec Burks led the bench in scoring, dropping 15 points on 4 - of - 5 from the field. Utah will return to action on Tuesday in a home matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.
