After Action Report

In Utah, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Jazz 107-102. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
