The Vivint Arena was filled to capacity as fans witnessed the Jazz dominate possession and lead for nearly 38 minutes of game time.

The Jazz's bench contributed significantly with 50 points, bolstering their overall performance.


Defensively, Utah outperformed Memphis by registering six blocks and ten steals, which translated into crucial turnovers and additional scoring opportunities. The Jazz capitalized on these chances by scoring 20 points off turnovers. Their defensive efforts were complemented by an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.73.


On offense, Utah displayed remarkable shooting accuracy from beyond the arc with a solid three-point percentage of 40 percent resulting in 19 made shots from distance. Their true shooting percentage stood at an efficient rate of over half at approximately 61 percent.


Memphis Grizzlies fought valiantly but struggled with their free throw efficiency, making only about half of their attempts from the line. They managed to draw fouls effectively though, earning themselves numerous trips to the stripe with a total of forty-two free throw attempts.


The Grizzlies' effort in paint was notable as they scored almost sixty points in that area but it wasn't enough against Utah's robust defense which held them to just over forty percent shooting overall.
