Playing through Gafford, others is top takeaway from win in Utah

SACRAMENTO – As the Mavericks made a quick getaway from Salt Lake City after beating the Utah Jazz 115-105 on Monday night, they were prepping almost immediately for the upcoming games against Sacramento.

But what they did in Utah was worthy of revisiting.

They trailed through the first three quarters and it was beginning to look like they were going to struggle until the end.

Their defense showed its teeth just in time and propelled them to the win, even if maybe it was tougher than expected.

They also got great showings from Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving.
