Dallas Mavericks Vs Utah Jazz Game Day Preview
The Utah Jazz have surged to the top of the standings following their WIN at home against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. (104 – 116)
Dallas will not have to wait long for a shot at revenge against the Jazz as they are back in Utah tonight.
Dallas Mavericks
The Jazz pounced on the Mavericks for multiple 21-point leads in the first half in Wednesday’s contest. Dallas coach Rick Carlisle described that rough start as “the killer” for his squad.
The loss was the third in a row for the Mavericks, who have two three-game losing streaks and only a pair of wins since Jan. 15.
“We didn’t come out with enough force, enough disposition, enough energy,” Carlisle said. “They were great and we did not play well.”
“We’re just not ourselves right now,” Dallas’ Luka Doncic said. “We’re gonna have to pick it up and be way better than this.”
Utah Jazz
Without two of their best players — Donovan Mitchell (concussion protocol) and Derrick Favors (back) — the Jazz depended on the best scoring performances of the season from Rudy Gobert, Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles to continue their NBA-best win streak this past Wednesday.
In the teams 10th consecutive victory, Gobert had season-highs in points (29) and rebounds (20), while Clarkson (31 points) and Ingles (21 points on seven 3-pointers) helped boost the short-handed Jazz.
“We want to be unselfish, help each other on both ends of the floor,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “I think we’re covering for each other, our communication defensively. The game can be simple if you let it be.”
“It’s probably the first time since I’ve been here that I’ve seen that much focus from everyone in this locker room. I really feel like we’re playing for something bigger and we’re on a mission.” – Rudy Gobert
