The Memphis Grizzlies maintained their flawless start to the NBA regular season on Monday night, holding off a determined fourth-quarter charge by the Utah Jazz at Delta Center. Memphis built a commanding double-digit advantage through disciplined perimeter shooting and aggressive rebounding before Utah mounted an aggressive late surge behind transition scoring and perimeter pressure. Despite the momentum swing in the closing minutes, the Grizzlies executed cleanly down the stretch, converting key free throws and securing defensive stops to preserve the road victory.
The outcome underscores Memphis’ poise during tight game situations early in the schedule, demonstrating roster depth and defensive composure under pressure. Utah pushed the contest into a single-possession margin with under two minutes remaining, but costly turnovers and missed second-chance opportunities ultimately stalled the hosts’ comeback bid. With the triumph, Memphis continues its undefeated run through the opening weeks of the Western Conference schedule, while Utah looks to address early-season defensive rotations ahead of its upcoming road trip.
