Donovan Mitchell scored 10 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter and the Jazz beat the Grizzlies to take the lead in their first-round series.

Mike Conley, in Memphis where he started his career, matched his regular-season and playoff career highs with seven 3-pointers and finished with 27 points.

Brooks scored the first six points of the fourth, starting Memphis on a 13-2 run. Morant gave the eighth-seeded Grizzlies their first lead at 107-105 with two free throws with 5:00 left, and his jumper with 4:28 made it 109-107. Memphis increased capacity to 55 per cent inside FedExForum, and the approximately 10,000 fans were very loud for the franchise's first home playoff game since April 27, 2017, when Conley was the Grizzlies' point guard for a seventh straight postseason berth.

Utah scored the first four points and led 34-22 after the first quarter. Every time Memphis tried to eat away at the lead, the Jazz answered with another 3. The Jazz made 11 3s in leading 62-51 at halftime.
