The Memphis Grizzlies took their second straight loss in their first-round series against the Utah Jazz. Their quest to become one of the only teams to take down a 1st-seeded team in the first round was set back once again.
But Saturday night’s loss wasn’t one for the Grizz to hang their head over. In fact, before the officials decided to call every breath on both teams, Memphis was beginning to mount a comeback.
After trailing for the entire game, the Grizzlies actually took the lead with just under four and a half minutes left in regulation.
