Overview
- Utah crushed Memphis 147-101 on Friday to end a 10-game losing streak.
- Bez Mbeng and John Konchar each posted a triple-double, the first time the Jazz have had two in one game.
- Blake Hinson scored a career-high 30 points, Mbeng set a career best with 27, and Oscar Tshiebwe grabbed a personal-high 22 rebounds.
- Memphis dressed only six players as Utah built a lead that reached 55 points and piled up 86 points in the paint and 45 on fast breaks.
- The result, combined with Brooklyn’s loss, narrows Utah’s lottery paths, leaving the Jazz tied with the Kings at 22-59 and setting up Sunday scenarios that could secure their top-eight protected pick.
