After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Mavericks 123-80. Jazz's offense had its way with the Mavericks. Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
