After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz handled the Mavericks 131-118. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
