Story: Though it was the last game of the regular season, Lionel Hollins wasn’t intending to rest his starters; they got some anyway. This was a break-your-will massacre. The 16-point margin is bad enough, but the Jazz as a team were held under 40% True Shooting. The credit goes first and foremost to the dominant Grizzly defense, in which Randolph was no bystander, posting a 74 Defensive Rating. Meanwhile, he was the Grizzlies offense, using nearly 37% of their possessions while he was on the floor.
