After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Jazz 114-101. Mavericks torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
