After Action Report
The Jazz downed the Mavericks 100-87. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
