The Dallas Mavericks got their first summer league win, beating the Jazz 80-76. Robert Franks led the Mavericks with 17 points! I don’t remember many of these points, but he did it.
Dallas couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn to open the game, getting down 0-10 early. After playing way too fast for half the quarter, the Mavericks settled and whittled away at the Jazz lead. They also tightened up their defense enough to stop the flood of points from Utah. Nate Hinton had a nice and-one drive to help close the lead, Feron Hunt finished a nifty spin move, and EJ Onu dunked a great alley-oop pass during the closing run.
