MEMPHIS, Tennessee: The Utah Jazz have put themselves in position to help erase a very bad memory from last year's Florida bubble. Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points, and the top-seeded Jazz grabbed a 3-1 lead Monday (Tuesday in Manila) by holding off the Memphis Grizzlies 120-113. That's the same lead the Jazz blew in losing their first-round series in seven games to Denver in the bubble.
