After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Mavericks 105-98. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
