After Action Report
In Dallas, the Jazz buried the Mavericks 116-82. Jazz torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
