After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Jazz 112-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
