After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Jazz 117-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' 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.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
