MEMPHIS, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Karl Malone and Matt Harpring scored 17 points apiece Sunday as the Utah Jazz coasted to a wire-to-wire, 103-74 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Memphis had won a franchise record five in a row at home but never got going against the Jazz, who improved to 25-5 in the all-time series.
Utah rolled to a 104-71 victory over the Grizzlies at the Delta Center on Dec. 6 and picked up where it left off, opening a 21-11 lead after the first quarter and a 54-31 halftime advantage.
After shooting just 35 percent in the first quarter, Utah was an amazing 87 percent in the second.
The Jazz built their first 20-point lead, 43-22, on Andrei Kirilenko's dunk with 3:39 remaining and led by at least 20 over the last 3:02.
Shane Battier scored 11 points for Memphis, which avoided a season low in points with 49 seconds left when Mike Batiste made a short jumper.
