Due to their “grit ‘n grind” defense, the Grizzlies reeled off another win against a Western Conference foe, defeating the Utah Jazz 88-79.
While the Warriors game was about the excellence of the “Core 4,” this game was led by the “Big 3” of Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Chandler Parsons.
In the first half, Chandler Parsons flashed glimpses of the real Chandler Parsons. He scored nine points, connecting on two of his three triples. Unfortunately, he didn’t play in the second half due to his minute restriction.
The Grizz had the lead throughout the game, but Utah would always chip at it.
