Utah Jazz Overcome Turnovers to Beat Memphis Grizzlies in NBA In-Season Tournament

Markkanen and Clarkson Score 26 Points Each, Grizzlies' Coach Criticizes Officiating After Jaren Jackson Jr.'s Ejection

The Utah Jazz secured a 127-121 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA's new In-Season Tournament, despite a series of turnovers that threatened to derail their lead.
Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson each scored 26 points for the Jazz, with John Collins adding 18 and Ochai Agbaji contributing 15 points.
The Grizzlies were significantly disadvantaged with several key players, including superstar Ja Morant, out due to league suspension or other reasons.
The game was marked by controversy over officiating, with Grizzlies' coach Taylor Jenkins expressing strong criticism after Jaren Jackson Jr. was ejected on two technicals in the third quarter.
Despite the ejection of Jackson and trailing by 21 points, the Grizzlies managed to rally and tie the game twice in the fourth quarter, but ultimately could not overtake the Jazz.
