The Utah Jazz displayed their dominance as they soared to a commanding 133-109 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at the Delta Center on Wednesday night. Let’s delve into the three key elements that fueled the Jazz’s triumph:

Unstoppable Long-Range Accuracy: The Jazz had an incredible night from beyond the arc, making it seem like the basket was as vast as the ocean. Among their 43 attempts from downtown, they converted an impressive 22 shots, boasting a remarkable 51.2% success rate. Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Collin Sexton each connected on at least four 3-pointers, leaving the Grizzlies struggling to defend against the barrage.

 

Balanced Scoring On All Fronts: Utah’s efficient scoring extended to all areas of the court, resulting in five players reaching double-digits in points (Markkanen, Clarkson, Sexton, Kelly Olynyk, and John Collins). What’s more, every player who saw action contributed at least three points, showcasing the team’s depth and versatility in offense.

 

Early Lead Sets the Tone: The Jazz wasted no time in establishing a substantial lead against the Grizzlies, heading into halftime with a commanding 33-point advantage. This comfortable margin allowed the Jazz’s starters to take a well-deserved rest for most of the fourth quarter. This strategic move was particularly valuable on the first night of a back-to-back game schedule, offering a boost in preparation for their upcoming challenges.
