After Action Report

The Mavericks blew the doors off the Jazz 113-89. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
