After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the Jazz 143-114. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
