After Action Report
In Dallas, the Jazz shocked the Mavericks 92-84. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
