After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Mavericks 122-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
