After Action Report
In Utah, the Mavericks downed the Jazz 112-97. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
