After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Jazz 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
