Jazz Drop Game 1 Against the Grizzlies After a Late Mitchell Scratch

May 24, 2021 16:00 - 23 minutes - 16 MB

Jazz start off their series against the Grizzlies with a hard loss. Mitchell said he's good to go and all looks well until he is scratched only hours before the game. The Jazz big men Gobert and Favors excelled and Bogdanovic dropped 29 in the 2nd half after going scoreless and turning the ball over too many times in the first. The Grizzlies were led by Dillon Brooks' 31 points who has heated all game and even lightly head butted Conley. Next game is Wednesday, should be a good one.
