After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Mavericks 120-118 in overtime. Jazz torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
