The Triple Team: Jazz get out in transition and stop the opposition at the rim to get home win over Mavericks

After the Jazz scored 129 points in regulation on Friday night, they scored 125 in regulation on Saturday night. This time, it was enough to win.

But what I thought was a little bit remarkable was that they were primarily successful tonight by running the ball and scoring in transition. According to CleaningTheGlass, the Jazz scored 103 points per 100 possessions in the half-court... not bad. But they scored 218 points per 100 possessions on their transition chances, which is just holy-cow-level for any team, let alone one that played 58 minutes the night before and then flew from Oklahoma City to Salt Lake City.
