Utah Jazz (Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports)
The first-round series between the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies was one of the most intense matchups to date in this year’s playoffs.
Memphis able to come into the series with momentum after sending Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors home in the Play-In Tournament. And the Grizzlies used that momentum to steal Game 1 against the Jazz in Salt Lake City.
After that game, however, the Jazzmen were able to regain control of the series and close it out in five games, 4-1.
