Luka’s first home playoff game of the year couldn’t have gone any better. Dallas didn’t spend any time licking their wounds after a razor-thin loss in Game 4. They came out, took control early, and cruised to a wire-to-wire victory.
They’ll have a chance to close out the series in Utah, but first, here are some stats from Dallas’ 102-77 blowout victory in Game 5.
36: First half points for Utah
Utah managed only 36 points in the first half. That’s their lowest first-half total of the entire season. It was, if nothing else, a balanced effort as they scored 18 in both the first and second quarters.
