Cedric Coward Leads Grizzlies Past Jazz as Memphis Moves to 4-0
The Memphis Grizzlies have made a perfect start to the 2026-27 NBA season, and Cedric Coward played a key role in keeping their winning run alive on Monday night.
Memphis defeated the Utah Jazz 110-105 on the road, improving to 4-0 after another closely contested game.
Coward led the Grizzlies with 16 points and 11 rebounds, recording a double-double to help his team secure the victory. His performance was supported by Ty Jerome, who finished with 15 points and eight assists, while Jaylen Wells added 14 points.
The Grizzlies had to work for the result, with Utah keeping the game competitive. The Jazz managed to stay within reach, but Memphis found enough scoring to hold on for the five-point win.
It was another encouraging result for a Memphis side that has started the season with confidence. Winning on the road can be a difficult task in the NBA, particularly in closely fought games, making the result a valuable addition to their early-season record.
The 4-0 start gives the Grizzlies plenty to build on as they continue their schedule. With Coward contributing on both ends of the floor and other players stepping up, Memphis will be looking to maintain its momentum in the coming games.
