After Action Report
The Jazz survived the Mavericks 108-103. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
