Dallas Mavericks playing at home against the Utah Jazz. Recently, Dallas seems to have found a new identity on the court, winning the last two games and hoping to get another one to surpass the Sacramento Kings and place themselves on that 6th spot in the West. With
Luka Doncic playing yet another season at an MVP level, and
Kyrie Irving finding his rhythm, they could be a menace for the rest of the conference's powerhouses.
Dallas received a Utah Jazz who are virtually out of any playoff contention. Utah appears to be more worried about what's going to happen with them in the upcoming NBA Draft. With all these being said, a host victory was more than anticipated.
Luka Doncic continues to play wonderfully, and tonight he made sure that this game always stayed out of reach for the Jazz. In this action we can see a Doncic side that's not often mentioned. He can be a very good defender whe he proposes to. He maintains position perfectly against Keyonte George and then proceeds to steal the ball, throwing himself to the floor to get it. Then he passes it to Kyrie who runs at full speed and throws a perfect alley-oop for
Derrick Jones Jr. That's the kind of attitude you want to see by your superstar.
