After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Mavericks 100-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
