After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Jazz 132-112. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
