After Action Report
The Jazz rolled past the Mavericks 118-97. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
