After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Jazz 91-88. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
