Jazz and the Mavericks about to get underway. Join @1041straight and me on the radio.

One thing to keep an eye on — Mavericks take the fewest shots in the restricted area in the NBA only 27%. Will this make Rudy Gobert’s impact any less

Wow what a first quarter. Donovan Mitchell has 14 on 6 of 7. Jazz lead it 37-34 after 1

All offense in the 1st quarter
Jazz offensive rating is 151
Dallas offensive rating is 139

Best stretch from Dante Exum this season. Pushing the tempo. Dribbling less. Creating offensive opportunities for a bench unit that doesn’t naturally score. Jazz on a 18-3 run lead it 48-35 with 9:17 left in the 2nd

HEy @BuckleUpBoler are you ok? JJ Barea putting on a show for his biggest fan. 17 points, 7 in the quarter and the Jazz lead is down to 4 52-48

Actually @BuckleUpBoler do you mind if I dance with your date? He is awesome

Halftime Jazz 65 Mavericks 58 — Jazz are 8 of 16 from three. Mavericks are 9 of 14. EFG% Jazz and Mavericks both at 66%. Defense not impacting the game yet. Mitchell and Rubio with 14 – Barea with 20.

Linking 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter and the Jazz are on a 14 to 2 run for a 76-60 lead. 9:14 left in the 3rd quarter. Ricky Rubio back to back three pointers and has 20 points.

Jazz lead it 104-90 but feel a bit funky. Mavericks don’t get blown out and Jazz better not blink. Mavericks have hit on 14 of 25 from three tonight. All 5 Jazz starters in double figures lead by Rubio’s 20.

Dallas has hit 16 of 28 from three tonight. Teams that have made 16 3s or more and hit over 50% are 45-15.

Jazz win one with offense. 119-112 win over Dallas. Jazz win this one offensively. Worst defense outing since Rudy Gobert came back on Jan 19th.

Mitchell with 26 points, Rubio 22.
