Harrison Barnes looked solid again in a Mavs uniform notching up fourteen points. Unfortunately, he received next to no help. Shooting 42% as a team and just 26% from three-point range, Dallas’ shot-making deserted them again in a tight matchup down the stretch.
While there are still some promising signs developing so far this season, 0-4 is still 0-4. The big German put up nine points after returning from an illness while D-Will and Wesley Matthews only managed a dozen a piece. While Dallas managed a solid defensive effort against a potent Jazz offense, Dallas was absolutely killed from beyond-the-arc, particularly in crunch time.
