The Utah Jazz fell to the Dallas Mavericks 110-102 in their first regular season road game at American Airlines Center. They are 1 of 3 teams yet to win a single game through October, including the Detroit Pistons and Sacramento Kings (as of now they lead Portland 47-43 in the second quarter).
The Jazz’s defense was spectacular early on, holding both Doncic and Irving below 11 through the first half. Once Hendricks’ tragic injury occurred in the third quarter, Utah’s main POA defender was lost as well. Dallas thrived off a 15-5 run to give them an 82-70 lead entering the final quarter.
