Jazz-Grizzlies Preview

Playing at home didn't give the Memphis Grizzlies an advantage last postseason.

Perhaps it will give them an edge in Monday night's home opener.

The Grizzlies go for a 12th consecutive regular-season victory at FedExForum as the Utah Jazz try to salvage the finale of their three-game trip.

Memphis went 41-25 during the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season and earned home-court advantage in a playoff series for the first time in large part due to a franchise record-tying 11-0 home surge to end the year. The Grizzlies, though, dropped two of four at home to the Los Angeles Clippers in the opening round, including an 82-72 loss in Game 7.

Memphis (1-1) will try to re-establish its home-court edge following Friday's 104-94 victory over Golden State. The Grizzlies had nine steals after recording 14 in Wednesday's 101-92 season-opening loss to the Clippers.

The Grizzlies' opponents have committed 41 turnovers.

"That's what we do. We had pressure on the ball, pressure on the wings and we were just taking them away from everything they wanted," coach Lionel Hollins, whose team led the NBA in steals (9.6) and forced turnovers (17.1) last season, told the league's official website. "When you're trying to force a play, when there's a lot of pressure and also when the shot clock's against you, turnovers happen."

The Jazz (1-2) arrive in Memphis after committing 17 turnovers in Saturday's 110-100 loss to San Antonio, including six in the fourth quarter after erasing a 19-point third-quarter deficit.

Utah is 0-2 outside Salt Lake City after going 11-22 on the road last season.

"It's tough when you're on the road against a team like that and come back, but we did," said forward Paul Millsap, who recorded his second double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds). "We put ourselves within reach to win the game, but their veterans came through."

Acquired from the Clippers in the offseason, 10th-year point guard Mo Williams has been a solid addition for the Jazz with team highs of 22.0 points and 6.3 assists per game.

Williams averaged 9.7 points off the bench last postseason versus Memphis.

Fellow new addition Randy Foye, a free-agent signee from the Clippers, averaged 7.7 points in that playoff series. He's scoring 13.3 per game so far with six 3-pointers - tied with Williams for the team lead.

Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley is 4 of 9 from long range, yet his teammates are a combined 4 for 18. Conley, averaging 14.0 points and 6.0 assists, also has a team-best eight steals.

Memphis' starting frontcourt of Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and center Marc Gasol is scoring a combined 57.0 points per game with 29.0 boards.

The Grizzlies are outrebounding their opponents by an average of 4.5.

Led by Millsap (31 rebounds), Al Jefferson (30) and Derrick Favors (21), the Jazz's edge on the boards is 7.4 per contest.

Utah went 2-1 versus Memphis last season - splitting two games at FedExForum - to improve to 16-5 in this series since the start of 2006-07.

Grizzlies beat Jazz 103-94 in home opener

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The Memphis Grizzlies had their new chairman and boss sitting at midcourt for the home opener along with a nice big crowd.

Talk about pressure.

The Grizzlies came out wanting to make a good impression all around only to struggle with some cold shooting early. Eventually, Zach Randolph finished with 16 points and 18 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 22 points and Memphis capped a day of celebration by beating the Utah Jazz 103-94 Monday night.

"Oh yeah, we was amped up, especially myself," said Randolph, who missed his first six shots. "Real amped up. Anytime home opener in front of your crowd you want to come out and do good and have a lot of energy. Some guys had too much energy like me."

Mike Conley added 16 points, Rudy Gay had 15 and Quincy Pondexter 14 for Memphis, which won its second straight this season after opening up with two games in California. Gasol also had eight assists and eight rebounds, helping the Grizzlies outrebound Utah 51-42.

"We just wanted to go out and play Grizzlies basketball and be physical," Conley said. "At the end of the day, we ended up winning the game."

With NBA commissioner David Stern on hand, the Grizzlies also picked up where they left off last season by winning their 12th straight regular season game and extending their franchise record. They haven't lost at home in regulation since the Jazz beat them Feb. 12.

Gordon Hayward led Utah with 19 points, 13 in the first half. Mo Williams added 17 points, Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors each had 14. The Jazz have lost three straight road games since beating Dallas in their own home opener, and coach Tyrone Corbin called it disappointing.

"We were able to be in all three games and had opportunities to win them, and just couldn't finish them off," Corbin said. "Even tonight, we had a stretch where we were right there. We had a lead at halftime, and started the third quarter off relatively good. We had a six-point lead and they made a run. ... We just have to grow and learn from it and continue to get better."

The Jazz started quickly and led by as much as 19-7. They led 25-18 at the end of the first quarter and 50-47 at halftime when Williams hit a 3 a second before the buzzer.

Memphis finally got going in the third quarter with a 16-2 run, turning up the defense with Gay blocking a shot by Millsap. Randolph hit a 6-foot turnaround jumper, then tied it up at 59 with a layup. Pondexter banked in a 7-footer to put the Grizzlies ahead. Al Jefferson hit a 6-foot jumper to tie it for Utah for the last time at 61-all with 4:23 left.

Pondexter hit a 3 to put the Grizzlies ahead to stay with 4:00 remaining in the period. Conley capped the spurt with a fast-break layup and finished off the three-point play for a 69-61 lead with 3:08 left. The Grizzlies led 74-66 at the end of the third, and they pushed the lead to 14 on a dunk by Tony Allen with 1:07 left.

The end got a little messy with 3.4 seconds left when Gasol fouled Foye as he drove toward the basket, taking him down and standing over him. Williams took exception and pushed Gasol back out of the way. Officials sorted it out on replay and gave Gasol a flagrant with a technical for Williams.

"You've got to love that," Hayward said. "We're going to finish the game to the end no matter what, and you've got to stand up for your teammate."

Stern thanked former Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley before tipoff and helped introduce the Grizzlies' new chairman, Robert Pera.

"The Memphis community has come together to support this team in an extraordinary fashion and guarantee that it's anchored in the Memphis community for many years to come," Stern said.

Stern handed the microphone to Pera who talked briefly about his ideas for the team before concluding with, "Go Grizzlies." Even Stern said, "That's it?" Pera, a 34-year-old owner of a California communications technology company, stood and clapped at the end.

The Grizzlies opened up struggling to find the basket whether on short jumpers or even simple layups. They hit only two of their first 19, and Randolph's miss of yet another layup had the home fans groaning. The Jazz had no such problems, hitting 7 of their first 11.

Conley credited the bench with energizing the starters, and Memphis got 26 points from its reserves.

"They all played well tonight and really kept us in the game and allowed the first unit to come back in and kind of feed off their energy," Conley said.

NOTES: Gasol now has scored at least 20 points in each of the first three games this season. ... The Grizzlies went 17-3 when scoring 100 points in a game last season with two of the three losses in overtime. They are 2-0 when scoring 100 points this season. ... Memphis hit 22 of 25 at the free throw line with Gay a perfect 8 of 8 and Gasol hitting all 10 of his attempts. The Jazz shot 9 of 13 at the line. ... Both Randolph and Allen missed their first six shots each. Randolph finally hit his seventh at 8:19 of second, and Allen hit his first bucket on a reverse layup with 1:48 left in the second quarter.

Notebook: Grizzlies 103, Jazz 94

Marlon W. Morgan, for NBA.com
Posted Tue Nov 06, 2012 12:00 AM - Updated Tue Nov 06, 2012 1:17 AM

THE FACTS: The Grizzlies returned to FedExForum tonight for their home opener against Utah and gave the crowd of 17,401 a 103-94 win to improve to 2-1. The Grizzlies were playing in front of new majority owner Robert Pera for the first time. Marc Gasol led the team with 22 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and three blocked shots as the Grizzlies had five players in double figures.

QUOTABLE: "I can't make a shot. We were amped up, especially myself. Anytime you have your home opener in front of your crowd, you want to do good and have a lot of energy. Some guys had too much energy, like me." -- Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph.

THE STAT: The Grizzlies started the game missing 17 of their first 19 shots. The trio of Randolph (0-5), Rudy Gay (0-4) and Tony Allen (0-6) were a combined 0-for-15 as the Grizzlies shot just 24 percent in the first quarter.

TURNING POINT: It was the Grizzlies bench that got the team re-energized in the second quarter, led by guard Quincy Pondexter. Pondexter had a 3-pointer and dunk that got the crowd back in the game as the Grizzlies outscored the Jazz 29-25 in the quarter. That carried over in the third quarter when the team used a 16-2 run to take a 69-61 lead. They never trailed again.

HOT: Gasol has been looking like he wants to be a two-time All-Star. He has now scored 20 or more points in all three games this season, and his eight boards were a season-high.

NOT: The Jazz had a hard time getting their inside game going with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, two players who normally play well against the Grizzlies. Jefferson was held to just 10 points, while Millsap had a hard-earned 14.

QUOTABLE II: We talk about getting better on the road. When you lose the first three on the road, it doesn't feel good, and it shouldn't. We don't want to feel good. We feel like somebody took something away from us. We have got to get back to work." -- Utah coach Tyrone Corbin.

INSIDE THE ARENA: NBA commissioner David Stern was in the house to welcome Pera into the NBA family. He also spent some time with outgoing owner Michael Heisley, the man responsible for bringing the team to Memphis from Vancouver.

NOTABLE: The Grizzlies win set a franchise record with their 12th consecutive regular season home win, dating back to last season. Their last regular season home loss was to Toronto on March 16, 2012. The win was also their first home opening win since the 2008-09 season when they defeated Orlando. They are now 4-14 all-time in home openers. .... The Jazz did have seven players score in double figures, led by Gordon Hayward's 19. Mo Williams added 17. ... Randolph may be cold shooting from the floor, but he's averaging 16 rebounds through the first three games. He entered tonight's game second in the league in rebounding.

UP NEXT: For the Jazz, Wednesday vs. Los Angeles Lakers, Friday at Denver, Saturday vs. Phoenix. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday at Milwaukee, Friday vs. Houston, Sunday vs. Miami.
