Utah Jazz’s defensive woes reach a tipping point as the Memphis Grizzlies explode for a season-high 137 points. Can Will Hardy find answers to the Jazz’s wide-open three-point problem before it’s too late?\n\nDavid Locke and Ron Boone break down how the Grizzlies, led by Santi Aldama’s 37-point barrage, picked apart a shorthanded Jazz frontcourt missing both Jusuf Nurkic and Walker Kessler. Keyonte George continued to impress with 24 points, while Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski showed flashes of offensive promise. The conversation spotlights Utah’s strategy of rim protection versus perimeter defense, dissecting why Memphis repeatedly found “butt naked” open threes. With the Jazz leading the NBA in allowing uncontested threes and dropping four straight, the hosts debate what needs to change to stop the bleeding. \n\nCan Utah tighten up defensively, or will their system keep leaving shooters wide-open?
