The Memphis Grizzlies dethroned the Utah Jazz 113-114, to snap a four-game losing streak on Friday night.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper dropped 23 points, and GG Jackson added 20, as the Grizzlies started a second-half rally with a 21-6 run after trailing by 14 in the first half.
On the other hand, Isaiah Collier led the Jazz with 24 points, while Kyle Filipowski and Ace Bailey with 20 points each.
Meanwhile, the game featured two teams fighting their way to the bottom tier in the Western Conference. Memphis started the night 11th in the conference, while the Jazz were 13th. And the NBA fined Utah $500,000 earlier this month for sitting key players in the fourth quarter of games against Orlando and Miami.
The Jazz were short-handed, playing nine players due to various ailments and injuries.
Utah’s Keyonte George, Jusuf Nurkic, and Jaren Jackson Jr. were sidelined due to injuries, while Lauri Markkanen was a late scratch due to illness.
Memphis recognized Jackson with a video tribute at the end of the first quarter, while Vince Williams Jr. and John Konchar were also honored for the Jazz before halftime.
The Jazz carried a 67-55 lead into the locker room at halftime.
