In the season’s first game featuring the new Utah Jazz City edition court AND jersey (PURPLE IS ACTUALLY REALLY BACK, FOLKS), your Jazz (2-8) took on a surprisingly mid Dallas Mavericks (5-5) team, featuring a new big three of Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson. This is a team that’s already defeated us once this year, winning 110-102 in Dallas on October 28th. Revenge was sweet tonight, though, as the Jazz stole the win 115-113 in a tense battle down the stretch.
There were multiple storylines being watched tonight. The main one being that the notoriously great home team had yet to win a game at home.
