After analyzing the situation, the Dallas Mavericks know they were only a rebound or two away from getting a leg up on

the Utah Jazz in this best-of-seven Western Conference first-round playoff series.

Instead, it’s the Mavs who will have to rebound in Game 2 on Monday after they dropped the series opener to the Jazz, 99-93, Saturday afternoon at American Airlines Center.

With Rudy Gobert – a mountain of a man at the center position – grabbing 17 rebounds, the Jazz outrebounded the Mavs by a sizeable 53-34 margin. The 19-point rebounding differential ties for the worst of the season by the Mavs.
