After Action Report

The Jazz blew the doors off the Mavericks 126-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
