The Roundup—Cold shooting dooms Utah in loss to Grizzlies

After Friday night's shootout against the Warriors, Monday's game versus Memphis was played at a significantly slower pace.

And that didn't work out so well for Utah.

The Jazz caught fire at the end of each half, but their overall cold shooting was too much to overcome in a 92-84 loss to the Grizzlies in Salt Lake City.

Utah (1-2) shot only 35.4 percent from the field, including 8-for-32 (25.0 percent) from 3-point range. Despite their own shooting struggles, the Jazz still managed to hold the Grizzlies (2-1) to only 36.9 percent shooting.

"Our defense kept us in the game," Jazz head coach Quin Snyder said.
