After Action Report

The Jazz buried the Mavericks 119-72. Jazz's offense had its way with the Mavericks. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
