After Action Report
In Dallas, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Mavericks 114-93. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
