The Utah Jazz are rolling victoriously.
PDO
The Utah Jazz, who were predicted to be in the basement of the NBA, became the first team in the Western Conference to take their sixth win of the season when they defeated the Memphis Grizzlies with a score of 121–105.
One of the biggest single factors of jazz’s surprise vibe is Lauri Markkanen, who had a team-high 31 points against the Grizzlies. The Finn was the only player in the match to reach double figures in rebounds, with a total of 11.
A significant statistical reading came on the defensive end. Markkanen recorded four blocks, a record in his NBA career. In the accompanying video clip published by Jazz, you can find a sample of what Markkanen is capable of in that field.
