Ahead of Monday night’s game between the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies — already the teams’ third meeting on the young campaign — Grizz point guard Mike Conley opined that his team was over playing the Jazz. “It’s a mini-playoff series almost,” he said. “I know they’re probably tired of seeing us; we’re tired of seeing them.”
If the game’s result is any indication, he’s likely extra happy to have the Jazz off the schedule for the next four months.
Following two bad losses to the Grizzlies at home, Joe Ingles and the Jazz tipped off a five-game roadie by finally getting the Memphis monkey off their backs.
