In the dying seconds, Simons and Grant made crucial free throws, and the Jazz made four costly mistakes in the final minute to help Portland win after blowing a 15-point lead early on. Jusuf Nurkic made a 15-point and 14-rebound contribution. With 4.6 seconds left, Jordan Clarkson had an opportunity to level the score, but the ball was pushed out of his hands and went off his foot. Grant scored four baskets in the final 6.4 seconds at the free-throw line to secure the victory.
Despite Collin Sexton's 19 points, Lauri Markkanen's 21 points, and Clarkson's 24 points overall, Utah's six-game homestand ended with a record of 2-2. Portland answered to Utah each time the home team made a drive in the waning minutes despite losing its sizable advantage.
