After Action Report

In a track meet, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Mavericks 130-105. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
