The Memphis Grizzlies (21/21), which fell to the league leaders Utah Jazz (33/11), suffered a disappointing failure in the National Basketball Association (NBA) – 114: 117 (24:38, 26:28, 29:22, 35:29).

Badly started grizzly players were 21 points behind (50:71) at the start of the third quarter, but came out of the pot: 34 seconds after playing, Dillon Brooks cut the deficit by three points to one pitch (114: 117).

The Memphis team was determined to defend without fouls, and the hosts’ attack was unsuccessfully completed by the launch of Donovan Mitchell. The opportunity to cheat overtime was once again entrusted to D. Brooks, but this time his long shot missed the goal.

“After a long break, we accelerated our pace and managed to break the game. So we have to play from the first minutes,” the Canadian reviewed the game.

Solid was again Jonas Valančiūnas, scored 14 points in 28 minutes (5/13 of two points, 0/1 of three points, 4/4 free throws), bounced 18 balls, made 2 assists, blocked 2 shots, took over and lost the ball once and committed 4 times.

Fighting for the balls, the Lithuanian extended the league’s longest double-digit series (12 matches in a row) and doubled over elite opponent Rudy Gobert. It is true that the Frenchman, who bounced only 9 balls, was more dangerous in attack this time and scored 25 points.

For the Utah club, it was the 18th consecutive victory at home, allowing the best team in the league to remain.

“Grizzlies”: Ja Morantas 32 (ed.11 res.), Dillon Brooks 22 (3/8 of three points), Grayson Allen 17 (5 reps, 5/9 of three points), Jonas Valančiūnas 14 (18 reps), Brandon Clarke 13 ( 5 recording camera, 5 resolution).

“Jazz”: Donovan Mitchell 35 (5 reb, 6 res., 5/7 triples), Rudy Gobert 25 (9th, 11/14 colon), Boyan Bogdanovich 17, Jordan Clarkson 14 (5th), 2/7 triples), Joe Ingles 9 (6 pm, 6 res.).
