The Mavericks took care of the Jazz 121-104. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
