Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks: Recap and Final Score

Utah’s losing streak extended to seven games after losing to the Dallas Mavericks, 112-100.

The Jazz started this game pretty well overall and showed impressive defense on second-year phenom Cooper Flagg. Ace Bailey deserves a lot of the credit for keeping Flagg to 21 points. Utah also did a good job on Kyrie Irving, holding him to just 35% from the field. Keyonte George has shown solid defense this season, and his defense showed up tonight in his moments guarding Irving and others. It’s a great sign for the Jazz’s future that he’s developing that way. Combine that with Ace Bailey’s defense and the emerging play of Darryn Peterson, and the Jazz have something brewing. It’s just hard to see…
