For all of the youthful swag and exuberant energy the Grizzlies possess, and even if nobody wearing a Jazz uniform can stay in front of the electrifying Ja Morant, Utah has the three best players in the series. And the Jazz had Rudy Gobert, and the Grizzlies didn’t. The Jazz had Mike Conley, and the Grizzlies didn’t. But on Saturday night, the Jazz had Mitchell, and the Grizzlies didn’t. And, in truth, the Grizzlies during significant parts of that fourth quarter looked like the more composed team, even taking a lead with four minutes remaining. The Grizzlies had FedExForum rocking, with “Whoop That Trick” from the classic movie “Hustle & Flow” blaring loudly during a timeout after a Memphis fourth-quarter run. After a Game 1 loss, the Jazz now lead what has become a tough first-round series 2-1. A 121-111 Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies was no doubt rewarding. Saturday night was difficult for the Utah Jazz. And then both men let out a quick exhale. Quin Snyder sifted his way through the crowd, located his star guard and gave Donovan Mitchell a quick hug.
