SALT LAKE CITY — Black shirts were draped on every seat in Vivint Arena as Utah Jazz fans dressed for their team’s funeral in Game 6 of the u200bu200bWestern Conference first-round series. The Dallas Mavericks took care of business and closed out the series, winning on the road, 98-96.
The Mavericks struggled to get anything going on offense in the first half, connecting on just 3 of 18 shots from deep and the Jazz had a comfortable 12-point lead at halftime. Dallas came out in the second half with a small-ball lineup, opened up the spacing on the court and shot lights out, draining eight 3-pointers in the third quarter and finished with 17 3-pointers for the night.
