Jazz make some inexplicable mistakes, can’t get enough stops late, as the Mavs shoot 11 for 18 in the final quarter to tie the series at one game apiece.
It started in the first quarter with Jalen Brunson and proved lethal in the fourth quarter with Maxi Kleber. Brunson was slowed in the second period , but Dallas as a team remained hot from 3-point range, drilling 5 of 10. Time after time, players either didn’t communicate or were simply confused as to whether they should switch or stay with their man.The Mavericks wound up hitting 22 of 47 tries from beyond the arc. Kleber made 8 of 11 , Brunson 6 of 10, Reggie Bullock and Dorian Finney-Smith hit 3 apiece.
That the Jazz were consistent on offense at all was something of a minor miracle, considering foul trouble among their short-handed guard line was constantly messing with their momentum. “When you’re taking the ball out of the net …” Snyder began. “I’ve stressed before the importance of needing to run.”With the game in the balance, they simply couldn’t string any stops together. Dallas outscored them 33-23 in the fourth quarter thanks to shooting 11 of 18 over the final 12 minutes.
