After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Jazz 108-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
