Mavs @ Jazz

The Jazz has the best record in the NBA right now. The Mavs need this win to boost confidence and prove to themselves and others that they are legitimate. Too many times they have been too inconsistent. This will be a great test for them.

Since Sloan will try to go for his 1000th win, I bet his players are psych for this game. They want to win this one for him, and they have home court advantage too.

1st Quarter: Crazy game. Topsy-turvy. Technicals, Fouls, Double Fouls, Double Technicals. A lot of free throws early on. Mavs not playing well. Slow start. Not a good sign. No energy.

2nd Half: Way to go Devin Harris & Greg Buckner. Defense does really win ball games. <-- That was early in the 2nd. At the end, the Mavs trail 39-51.

Final: The Jazz win it 101-79. Wow. The score says it all, really. Mavs never recovered.
