In a track meet, the Jazz blew the doors off the Mavericks 119-99. Jazz's offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
