White Hot Long-Range Shooting Gives Jazz First Half Boost

SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz seemingly can’t miss from deep, making 13 of their first 19 attempts from beyond the arc to build a 59-45 lead over the Grizzlies.

The Jazz (16-56) hosted the Memphis Grizzlies (43-28) at Delta Center on Tuesday, March 25. Utah has the second-worst record in the league and the fewest wins in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies enter the night tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the fourth-best mark in the West.

Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang led the way with a trio of triples. Rookies Isaiah Collier and Cody Williams stepped up with a pair of threes. Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and Walker Kessler, the newest addition to the team’s long-range arsenal, hit one from deep.

Sexton and Juzang lead Utah with 11 points. Jaren Jackson Jr. leads Memphis with 12.

The Jazz are shooting 61.8 percent from the field, allowing them to lead from the opening seconds against a playoff-bound team.
