After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Grizzlies 102-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
