"Tonight Was About Competing" | Utah Clinches Playoff Spot With Win Over Memphis

Despite a false narrative surrounding the team as of late, the Jazz were sensational in overtime as they clinched a playoff spot following their 121-115 victory over second-seeded Memphis on Tuesday night

Before Utah tipped off with Memphis on Tuesday night, head coach Quin Snyder met with the media for his usual pregame press conference. But before a question could be asked, Snyder had something to say.

"A lot of times, people use numbers to tell a story, and it's important to do that responsibly," he said.

Hours later, the numbers told the story as Utah rallied from a double-digit third quarter deficit to take down the surging Memphis Grizzlies 121-115 in overtime.
