The Utah Jazz ( 15 - 17 ) held off the Memphis Grizzlies ( 18 - 17 ) 92 - 87 in an overtime grinder Saturday night . The strength of these two teams is defense and that was evident on Saturday . It 's not just good defense though , as both teams have some of the worst offenses in the NBA . There were still only 156 combined shots in an overtime game , which is indicative of the slow - paced nature of this matchup . The major difference in the game was the free - throw shooting , as the Grizzlies hit just 54 percent of their free - throws on 26 attempts , while the Jazz made 75 percent on 28 attempts . Memphis has had a rough season on the offensive end and this was as much of a struggle as any game thus far . The bench really let the team down , as Zach Randolph 's eight points were the only points from the bench players . Marc Gasol missed some crucial open shots that could have won the game , but he was still Memphis ' best player on the night . Gasol tallied 20 points , seven rebounds and four assists in the loss . These offensive struggles are simply too hard to overcome right now and it seems evident that something needs to change if this team will compete this season . In any case , they 'll look to find some offense against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday in their next game . The Jazz have had an equally bad season on the offensive end , but they got a career game from an unlikely source . Rodney Hood scored a career - high 32 points in the win and snatched down eight rebounds . They 'll need him to continue playing like this with how thin they are at the shooting guard position right now . Gordon Hayward also has a good game , as he tallied 14 points , five rebounds and four assists in a good all - around effort . With all the injuries Utah has right now , they have to be somewhat satisfied still hanging around the .500 mark with players due back sooner rather than later . They 'll look to build off this win against the Houston Rockets on Monday .
