The Utah Jazz defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 126-112, at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Saturday night.

The Grizzlies (6-16) knew they were overmatched on paper in a road tilt against the Jazz (13-10), but they came swinging out of the gate and built a 36-32 lead after 12 minutes. That surge from the visitors seemed to wake Utah up, as they changed the dynamic of the contest by outscoring Memphis, 37-18, in the second period. That 15-point cushion was enough to sustain them the rest of the way, even as the Grizzlies narrowly outscored the Jazz, 58-57, over the final two periods.

Jaren Jackson, Jr. paced the Grizzlies with 26 points, adding four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Jae Crowder and Grayson Allen followed with matching 13-point, two-rebound tallies. Jonas Valanciunas and Dillon Brooks produced 10 points apiece, with Valanciunas also pulling down six boards.

Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 22 points and complemented them with four rebounds and three assists. Rudy Gobert and Bogdan Bogdanovic generated 19 points each, with Gobert adding 11 rebounds and five assists and Bogdanovic pulling down six boards. Royce O'Neale turned in 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals. Joe Ingles mustered a 12-point, 10-assist double-double that also included four steals. Emmanuel Mudiay supplied 11 points, seven assists and three rebounds.

The Grizzlies will next pay a visit to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, while the Jazz remains home and takes on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night.
