Utah dominated Memphis 147–101 on April 10 at Delta Center, a 46-point rout that fell well short of the Vegas total of 247.5 points. B. Hinson led the Jazz with 30 points while B. Mbeng contributed 27, anchoring Utah's offensive efficiency of 121.0 rating on 56.4 percent shooting and 15 three-pointers made. The Jazz's suffocating defense held Memphis to just 37.6 percent from the field and forced 19 turnovers, translating to a 121.0 defensive rating that proved insurmountable. Utah's second quarter was particularly decisive, outscoring the Grizzlies 41–22 to establish control early. D. Whitehead paced Memphis with 21 points and T. Okani added 20, but the Grizzlies' 27 assists on 101 points underscored their offensive struggles against Utah's lockdown perimeter defense, which generated 16 steals. The Jazz's 64 rebounds and 43 assists highlighted their balanced attack, while Memphis's 47 boards and 10 steals couldn't overcome their efficiency deficit. This dominant performance strengthens Utah's playoff positioning heading into the final stretch.
