With their first round NBA playoff series tied at a game apiece, the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies have shifted to Memphis for Saturday’s pivotal Game 3 at FedEx Forum.

The No. 8-seed Grizzlies took Game 1 before the No. 1-seed Jazz rebounded to win Game 2, both of which were played in Salt Lake City.

Utah is hoping to have another strong shooting night on Saturday like it did in Game 2 as opposed to the struggles it had in Game 1. Memphis, meanwhile, lost some of the physicality in Game 2 that was crucial in its Game 1 victory.

Tip time Saturday is set for 7:30 p.m. MDT, and the game will air on ESPN. Follow along here for in-game updates and observations.
