The last time the Mavericks won a game in Salt Lake City, they had three starters score over 20 points.
Their names were Wesley Matthews, Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki. The other starters were J.J. Barea and Zaza Pachulia and the date was April, 11, 2016.
Since then, there had been 10 visits to Utah’s home court – and 10 losses for the Mavericks.
Nearly six years after that last win at Vivant Arena, the Mavericks were back on Friday night. Unfortunately, nothing much changed.
In agonizing fashion, the Mavericks fell again in Utah, dropping a 114-109 heartbreaker to the Jazz in their first game after the All-Star break and the first of three meetings down the stretch they will have with the Jazz.
