Mavs extract some revenge, knock off Jazz
SALT LAKE CITY – Remember mid-November when the Mavericks had lost four in a row and everybody was looking for the nearest panic button?
Nah, neither do the Mavericks. And with good reason.
They returned to the scene of their nadir and avenged the loss on Nov. 14 on this same floor that sent them into soul-searching mode and took care of business down the stretch for a 106-94 victory Saturday night at the Delta Center.
Kyrie Irving made play after play down the stretch as the Mavericks executed well at the end, unlike the game in mid-November when they were upended 115-113, a loss that triggered the run that now has pushed them to 12-8 with seven wins in the last eight games.
