The Jazz (1-1) have an extremely rough schedule to start off: after this game against the Grizzlies (1-1), they go on a road trip against the Rockets, Pelicans, Mavericks, and Timberwolves, all before the end of Halloween. The Jazz need to take their easier wins where they can, but the Grit-and-Grind Grizzlies are never an easy challenge. Even with grindfathers Tony Allen and Zach Randolph no longer on the team, Marc Gasol and Mike Conley always lead a great fight.
