The Grizzlies won on offensive rebounds (+10.8) and fewer turnovers (+3.2). The Jazz’s edge: better shots (+2.1).
Points from the Grizzlies’ side. Shooting is the difference in points per shot on the average number of shots; each turnover is a shot not taken and each offensive rebound a shot more, at the average points per shot; free throws are their points less the shots the trips used (0.44 of a shot each). Shot quality: what an average shooter scores on the same shots (same spot, same kind of shot); shot making: the rest.
101 points from the field on 93 shots: 0.9 fewer than the league scores from the same zones.
