Cold shooting dooms Jazz in SLC Summer League opener

The Utah Jazz opened up their SLC Summer League schedule on Monday night, but ice-cold shooting plagued them throughout a 85-68 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Jazz shot only 36.7 percent as a team, including 4-for-24 (16.7 percent) from 3-point range.

"It was our first game, and we were just trying to connect and get together," Jazz center Tony Bradley said. "A few of the guys were nervous—they had butterflies and stuff. We've gone through training camp and a few practices, but games are different."

Bradley double-doubled with 14 points and a game-high 15 rebounds, while fellow center Willie Reed came off the bench to score 12 points on 6-for-8 shooting.
