After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the Mavericks 124-97. Every possession went the Jazz way. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; the Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
