The Dallas Mavericks came into the game tonight after faltering in their recent run. The first 4-game win streak of the season for Dallas against a few of the best teams in the NBA were nullified by a bad loss to Denver and a heartbreaker to Portland.
The Mavs faced off against the Utah Jazz knowing that a win was needed but also realizing that the Jazz are no easy win like in previous years. This year, Utah is currently sitting at the 4th seed in the playoffs with a 34-19 record. Now 34-20.
The Mavericks fell behind in the contest in a big way.
