The Jazz played Memphis on Saturday night without starting small forward Donyell Marshall, who is nursing a bruised hip.
     
Don't be surprised if several of Marshall's teammates come up with the same injury in the next day or so ? because after what happened against the Grizzlies, they all should be kicking themselves hard in the hind-side.
     
Utah lost 97-95 to Memphis in double-overtime at the Delta Center, allowing Stromile Swift's game-winner to stand up and, more notably, dropping a game it had ample opportunity to win.
     
The blunder ended the 19-17 Jazz's winning streak at three games, and prevented them from winning for the eighth time in nine games.
     
Never was the Jazz more primed to pull out a thriller than at the end of regulation play, when, after rally from a dozen down late in the opening half, they had the ball with 2.2 seconds to go and the game tied at 83.
     
Bryon Russell in-bounded to all-time NBA assists leader John Stockton, who, instead of taking a wide-open jumper himself, passed off to well-guarded Karl Malone for a wild 20-footer that didn't come close to hitting the mark.
     
"Yeah, he had an open look," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said of Stockton, not exactly one afraid to have the ball in his hands with a game on the line.
