After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Mavericks 98-96. Jazz's offense had its way with the Mavericks. Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
