After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Mavericks 126-100. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
