After Action Report

The Mavericks demolished the Jazz 144-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 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.
