After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Jazz 131-112. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
