After Action Report

The Jazz rolled past the Mavericks 123-95. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
