The Dallas Mavericks’ 115-113 away defeat against the Utah Jazz came in the most unexpected way possible, with a huge mistake by Luka Doncic in his team’s last defense, with a score that reflected a tie at 113.
In the play in question, Jordan Clarkson placed the inside ball to John Collins, who beat the Slovenian’s back and received only to decide the game with a dunk, due to the surprising inactivity of the great star of the Texan team, who did not see come the rival play at no time.
In this way, Dallas suffered its fourth consecutive defeat after recent games lost against the Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns. The last win was at home against the Chicago Bulls on November 7.
Thus, Doncic’s 37 points and nine assists were not enough to avoid losing to Utah. Neither Klay Thompson’s 17 points nor Naji Marshall’s 19 were worth it. For Salt Lake City, John Collins (28 points and 9 rebounds) and Jordan Clarkson (20 points) stood out.
