SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah Jazz big man Derrick Favors gave his team a big boost off the bench in the first quarter of Game 4 against the Grizzlies.
Derrick Favors dropped six straight points off the bench to help the Jazz with offensive production with Rudy Gobert on the bench.
It all started with a tip-in after Donovan Mitchell missed a floater in the lane with 5:14 left in the opening quarter to give the Jazz a 19-16 lead.

After Dillon Brooks had a dunk on the other end, Joe Ingles and Favors ran their famous pick-and-roll in consecutive plays. Favors has been a massive addition this season for the Jazz after returning to the organization following a one-year stint with the New Orleans Pelicans.
This could be a game where the Jazz could take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series with a win in Game 4. Either way, Game 5 will be on Wednesday at Vivint Arena. Tip-off and broadcast information is to be determined.
