Utah's Kawhi George led the Jazz to a 130–126 road victory over Memphis at FedExForum on December 12, posting 39 points while Lauri Markkanen added 26 in a balanced offensive showing. The Jazz dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Grizzlies 42–33 to seize control after a sluggish second quarter where they managed just 25 points. Memphis countered with Santi Aldama's 22 points and Ja Morant's 21, though the Grizzlies shot 46.5 percent from the field and made 19 threes—nearly matching Utah's efficiency. Utah's rebounding edge (58–49) and 33 assists proved decisive despite committing 13 turnovers to Memphis's 10. The game fell short of the 243.5 Vegas total, with Utah's third-quarter surge providing the margin in a defensive grind where both teams posted offensive ratings around 114–115. The Jazz's road win strengthens their playoff positioning as they continue their Western Conference push.
