After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Jazz 109-97. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Jazz. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
