NBA: Memphis 91, Utah 89

MEMPHIS, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- O.J. Mayo hit a jump shot with 5.2 seconds to play Friday, giving the Memphis Grizzlies a 91-89 victory over Utah, their first over the Jazz in 12 meetings.

Memphis had as much as an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter but Utah tied it on a dunk by Ronnie Brewer with 23 seconds remaining in regulation. Mayo then produced the game-winner with the last of his 14 points and Marc Gasol blocked a short jump attempt by C.J. Miles as time expired.
