Can Grizzlies pull out a win at home to even the series? 

Memphis has played a fairly even series so far. During the last game, they managed to compete until the end but couldn’t come back after their rough defensive start in the first quarter, where they allowed their rival to take a 12-point lead. The difference that during the rest of the game, they could only deduct 2 points, and now they have lost their home-court advantage. 

Utah Jazz wants to win on Monday to get closer to the semifinals. 

The team coached by Quin Snyder will have the opportunity to widen the gap in the series, so they can get home again with the possibility of qualifying for the Western Conference semifinals. To do that, they must maintain the outstanding level they have shown at the defensive level with which they maintained throughout the game a difference of 12 points and being very accurate when doing effective damage to the opponent with players like Conley and Mitchell. They have been vital in the games against Memphis Grizzlies.
