After Action Report
In Utah, the Mavericks survived the Jazz 92-88. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
