Jerami Grant delivered his best outing of the exhibition season with 32 points and six rebounds, while Jrue Holiday impressed with 24 points, seven assists, seven rebounds, and two steals.
Shaedon Sharpe added 20 points despite struggling from deep. Portland caught fire from beyond the arc, sinking 21 of 54 attempts, with nine players hitting at least one three-pointer. Holiday (6 of 9) and Grant (5 of 12) led the charge, but the Jazz’s late surge denied Portland a win to close out their exhibition slate.
