First quarter done in Utah….the Jazz trail Memphis 26-23…Utah led by as much as 17-11, but the Grizzlies were very good defensively through the remainder of the 12 minutes – 9:34 PM

Will Hardy varies his sub pattern slightly tonight, with Sexton and Beasley coming in for Olynyk and JC, rather than Vando and Conley. – 9:23 PM

Jazz hustle is real
Think Jazz ran same play 3 times early all with different end points shows versatility of offense
One too many passes a few times. Good problem to have
Defensive communication has been poor – 9:22 PM

Grizzlies bigs playing small. Steven Adams missed a layup right under the basket while guarded by Mike Conley. Santi Aldama had a 1-on-1 transition opportunity against Jordan Clarkson and didn’t hit the rim. Should have been two easy makes.
Grizz still lead 9-8 with 6:46 in 1Q – 9:21 PM

Jazz turn it over, Santi Aldama had a one-on-one layup attempt against Clarkson, and the latter made it difficult enough to force the miss. Brooks then deflects it OOB. Nice play by JC. Grizz lead the Jazz 9-8 at the 6:46 mark 1Q. – 9:20 PM

Do Wolves fans hate Dillon Brooks too? Or just Jazz and Warriors fans? I’d like to think he’s 3-for-3 with playoff opponents. – 9:13 PM

The Jazz closed the game with Malik Beasley, Kelly Olynyk and Lauri Markkanen as their frontcourt on Saturday. With Ja Morant playing, it will be interesting to see if they stick with that. Jarred Vanderbilt was very good defensively in that playoff series vs. Minnesota. – 8:38 PM

Will Hardy said that the Grizzlies’ identity doesn’t change much without Ja Morant — they’re still committed to pushing the pace and working the ball inside. Said that Tyus Jones did a great job, and that Desmond Bane has clearly taken a step forward this season. – 7:21 PM

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Grizzlies at Jazz
After the surprisingly successful Jazz beat Memphis (without Ja Morant) a few days ago, they’ll run it back in Salt Lake City. Morant (illness) is listed as day-to-day. Lauri Markkanen put up 23-9-5 for Utah in the last game. pic.twitter.com/vXSL2pjvbA – 3:19 PM
