00:00This is a presentation of Mavs TV.
00:30Offense and defense.
00:31Dallas ended their road losing streak with a dramatic victory against the Kings on Tuesday.
00:37And they look to make it two in a row on this road trip.
00:39As now they're in Salt Lake City at the Delta Center tonight to take on the Utah Jazz for the second time this year.
00:46Hi, everyone.
00:47With Devin Harris, I'm Mark Folliwell.
00:48Great to have you tuned in tonight to Mavs TV.
00:51And it has been so fun, Devin, to watch the story of Brandon Williams.
00:54From two-way contract last year to standard contract to rotation guy and now to big shot maker in that game against the Kings.
01:03He's playing with a ton of confidence right now.
01:05Really impacted the game in a lot of different ways.
01:07Doing most of his damage from the paint but really utilizing the screen.
01:11You can tell the game is slowing down for him.
01:13He's playing so well at their finishing games now which gives him confidence.
01:16And when you have confidence, you're able to hit big-time shots like you saw against Zach.
01:20With a high-paced game like this, his speed is going to be a huge factor in this game.
01:24And if he can get points in the paint, that's going to put Mavs in a really good position.
01:2719 points per game over the last five.
01:29And he is getting points in the paint, Devin.
01:31In the restricted area, 35 of over 60 shots in the last five games have been taken there.
01:38He's shooting 71% in the restricted area in those games.
01:42And you love to see that his three is coming around.
01:44He's only taken seven threes in the last five games.
01:47But he's made three, including the game winner, late on Tuesday night.
01:51Devin, the Mavericks played here and lost in overtime to the Utah Jazz.
01:55Great game here on December 15th.
01:57And the Jazz won it on the strength of outstanding performances by Lowry Markkinen and Keontae George.
02:02Yeah, Keontae George has really made a lot of hayway with decision-making.
02:06He's a lot more consistent in his play.
02:09He's reading the game a lot better along with his scoring ability.
02:12He's got nine 30-point games, another one against the Mavs.
02:15They're going to have to contain him, especially with the way they like to get out and transition.
02:19You're talking about Lowry Markkinen, Will Hardy talked about his ability to adjust to defenses in-game.
02:23If we remember the last time these two teams played, the first half was not a good half.
02:27He really responded in the second half.
02:29And in overtime, a big reason why they won that game.
02:32Keontae George had 37 points in that game along with five boards and six assists.
02:37And as you see, he shot it from over 50% from the floor.
02:41Meanwhile, Lowry Markkinen, not only did he have 33 points,
02:45he also had a season-high 16 rebounds and had five assists in that game as well.
02:52Tonight, the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz.
02:55And not only were Markkinen and George good in that game last month,
02:58but Cooper was planting the flag that night.
03:02He had a sensational, historic game.
03:05And we'll have more on that right after this on Mavs TV.
03:08Stay tuned.
03:08One of the high points of Salt Lake City, where the capital is here in Utah.
03:28As tonight, the Dallas Mavericks take on the Utah Jazz.
03:31For the second time here in Salt Lake City this season.
03:34The last time here in Salt Lake City was a brilliant, record-setting performance,
03:39Devin, for Cooper Flagg.
03:40You said a career game for Coop.
03:42His aggression level was there from the start of the game,
03:45partly because there was no AD.
03:46I think when there's no AD, we see a lot more aggressive Coop.
03:50And with a team that's really not known for their defensive pressure,
03:53there's going to be a lot of chances for offensive input.
03:56And when you have a great game as a young player in the arena,
03:58you want some of that carryover to be there,
04:00and we're going to need that kind of input from him tonight
04:03if they're going to give you a win.
04:04Well, it tied the rookie record for the Mavericks with 42 points,
04:08and we put him in the driver's seat,
04:09brought to you by your North Texas Chevy dealers.
04:11He and LeBron James are the only players who ever scored 35 or more
04:17as an 18-year-old.
04:19LeBron did it twice, Coop did it twice,
04:21and LeBron had a 34-point game before turning 19 as well.
04:25Two of the best young players ever to hit the ground running in the NBA.
04:31Leslie McCazin will join us next.
04:32She'll have more on Cooper,
04:34and we'll get tonight's game between the Mavs and Jazz started right after this.
04:37Stay tuned.
04:37Mavericks basketball is brought to you by Home Zone Furniture.
04:46Welcome to our coverage on Mavs TV, KFAA in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
04:51Tonight, the Mavericks and Jazz clash at the Delta Center,
04:54and here are the starting lineups for tonight's game.
04:57Brought to you by Home Zone Furniture.
04:58For the first time this year, the Mavericks started these five players Tuesday
05:02and produced a win.
05:03Christy, Marshall, Gafford, Davis, and Flagg.
05:07And for the Jazz, they're starting this quintet for the first time all season tonight.
05:12Backcourt of Keontae George and Bryce Sensabaugh.
05:15Front line of Cody Williams in his second year from Colorado.
05:19Lowry Markin in his ninth year from Arizona.
05:21And Kevin Love in his 18th year from UCLA.
05:24Mark Falwell, Devin Harrison, our courtside reporter.
05:27She's very funny.
05:28Here is Leslie McCaslin.
05:29Hi, Leslie.
05:30Hi, guys.
05:31Well, I talked to Cooper Flagg at Shootaround this morning,
05:33and he said about that last game here in Utah
05:36that the biggest thing was being aggressive,
05:39attacking the gaps and getting to the rim to help him get to that 42.
05:43But if you remember, guys, he really didn't talk about it after the game
05:46because they lost that game in overtime.
05:48So today, he said it's definitely on their minds.
05:51He said it's big and that they are looking to come back here and get a win.
05:55But he was also sure to point out, like you guys talked about earlier,
05:58that unlike last time we were here, A.D. will be by his side tonight.
06:03And that certainly creates gravity.
06:04Look, let's not lose sight of the fact that when Anthony Davis plays this year,
06:10the Mavericks are 10-9.
06:11And when he doesn't play, they're 4-14.
06:14So that speaks to the difference that he provides on both ends of the floor.
06:18You said it.
06:18And gravity is a big part of that on both ends.
06:21You know, be able to defend the paint, blocking shots, rebound the ball,
06:25but also commanding double teams to open up that weak side for driving lanes
06:29for guys like Cooper and Max Christie.
06:31Some smiles between Daniel Gafford and Lowry Markkinen
06:34as they made it center court for the jump ball.
06:36And it's controlled by the Mavericks,
06:38who are trying to win back-to-back road games for just the second time this year.
06:43Remember, they did that when they beat the Clippers on November 29th.
06:46And then the Denver Nuggets in the Mile High City on December 1.
06:50Coming out early, they double-teamed Anthony Davis,
06:54and then Christie takes it aggressively to the basket and puts Dallas on the board.
06:59It's a good drive by Max going body-to-body.
07:03Kevin Love doing a good job of going vertical.
07:05Just a better finish by Christie.
07:09Kevin Love.
07:10He didn't play, and last night's overtime loss with the Jazz in Oklahoma City.
07:17Jake Gilchrist-Alexander tied it late in regulation on an enormously difficult mid-range jump shot
07:24as Anthony Davis drives down the side of the lane and scores for Dallas.
07:28I think we're seeing a big-time, aggressive Anthony Davis in this first quarter
07:38touching the ball for the first two times.
07:41Keontae George misses on a corner three.
07:43Cody Williams, offensive rebound.
07:45Markkinen knocks down a three.
07:48His 92nd made three of the year.
07:53Not the type of guy we want to give up warm-up threes to.
07:55Koop, yep, 29 points, 13 rebounds for the Jazz in Oklahoma City last night.
08:01They lost an OT, 129-125.
08:04Koop attacks his own miss, and now he's on the scoreboard.
08:10A rebound and a made basket.
08:12That trip down the floor for Cooper Flagg.
08:15Corner three, that's short.
08:17Davis rebounds and missed by Cody Williams.
08:20Williams is only 16% on threes this year going into play tonight.
08:25Max Christie for three from Anthony Davis.
08:28That one's short.
08:29Sixth in the NBA at 45.4% on threes.
08:32Max Christie.
08:34Kevin Love, early offense three.
08:40Defensive board for the Mavs, who are now 4-12 on the road after last night's win.
08:47Jazz come into this game having lost five straight,
08:49but they fought Oklahoma City tooth and nail last night,
08:52which a lot of teams are doing right now.
08:55Here comes the double on Davis.
08:57Picked up a loose ball, and it goes right to the cup.
09:02I like what I'm seeing offensively, getting off to a strong start.
09:05It's a team that really struggles to guard.
09:07Well, he's already checked the box's points, rebounds, and assists in this game,
09:13and forces Will Hardy and the Utah Jazz into a timeout just over two and a half minutes in.
09:19Get the ball, the AD on the block, good things will happen.
09:22Maz off to a strong start.
09:24But in tonight's Chalk Talk game within the game,
09:29we're going to show you that defending is not one of those things they do well.
09:32They are allowing the most points in the NBA,
09:35and opponents are making more field goals and more threes
09:38than any other opponent of a team in the NBA this year,
09:41and they're also not good in protecting the paint.
09:44They're 30th in block shots.
09:45Yeah, you can tell they've definitely made some hayway on the offensive end of the floor.
09:49I mean, they scored 140 the last time these two teams played,
09:51but if you want to win consistently in this league, you've got to do it on both ends,
09:55and that's something I still have yet to figure out.
09:58Yeah, they're 4th in the league in scoring.
09:59They play at a high pace.
10:03Keontae George, Cody Williams, Kevin Love.
10:07He's starting tonight, and Love weaving through the defense and scores in the paint.
10:12Yusef Nurkic and Ace Bailey are the notable injuries for the Jazz tonight.
10:17Being careful with both of those players who had some recent,
10:20picked up a couple of recent knocks.
10:21They did play last night, but not playing tonight.
10:26Drive Najee Marshall, spotting up in the corner.
10:29It's a baseline drive and baseline drift, and it leads to a Coug 3.
10:33I think that play was, even though he didn't touch the ball,
10:36as we see Markkinen go for a quick drive,
10:39they're trying to go to AD early on the block,
10:42creating a lot of gravity on that weak side,
10:44opening it up for Coug to make that 3.
10:46Well, the Jazz, they have responded offensively after the timeout.
10:49Runner Davis thought he got fouled.
10:51Rebound Kevin Love, outlet to Keontae George.
10:55Pushes it up ahead to Bryce Sensabaugh,
10:56and he rattles in a 3-pointer.
11:01This Utah team, they want to entice you into this sort of rat game
11:04where it's a free-flowing offense.
11:06That helps them out offensively.
11:08They don't have to guard for 24 seconds.
11:10They don't have to grind.
11:13They'd like to play windshield wiper basketball,
11:16as your former longtime coach for the Mavericks used to say.
11:19Turnaround shot.
11:20Coug, nice bounce.
11:257 early for Cooper Flagg.
11:28Aggressively looking for his offense.
11:304 shots, 3 makes.
11:33Sensabaugh just made a 3.
11:34Now drives it, and got another good bounce.
11:39He had 13 points in Oklahoma City last night.
11:42He's averaging almost 10 a game.
11:44Quarter 3 for Anthony Davis.
11:46No.
11:50Jazz can kill in front for the first time in the game.
11:54Mark it in cross court.
11:55Shot fake love.
11:56Love, Cody Williams.
11:58Old man can still do it, can't he?
12:01He can.
12:02He's got a lot of tools still in his bag.
12:08Love has played 20 games, now 21 this year.
12:11Three starts.
12:15In the paint.
12:1618.
12:17Comes up short.
12:20Love's got a basket.
12:21Three rebounds and an assist.
12:22Wow.
12:23And another one.
12:24Ambitious love pass up to Cody Williams.
12:29Love is limping to the bench right now, but the Jazz are playing.

12:48Devin made note a moment ago that Utah would love to entice you
12:52into some windshield wiper basketball.
12:55And these are both teams that play at a high pace.
12:58Miami, Atlanta, Chicago.
13:00Dallas' next opponent, by the way.
13:02And then Utah and Dallas complete your top five in the NBA in pace this year.
13:08Utah nearly 103 possessions.
13:10Dallas just over 102 possessions a game.
13:12And both like to get up and down.
13:14A lot of the open space occurs, but starts defensively,
13:19being able to get stops and play in transition.
13:20Deflection, but Klay's pass still made it through to Anthony Davis.
13:25Turnaround shot.
13:26Good bounce.
13:29Mavs down one.
13:30We'll see if they can tighten the screws.
13:32As Utah started the game one out of five from the floor,
13:35but now they've made six consecutive shots.
13:38Kyle Filipowski.
13:40And that's a dribble handoff to Isaiah Collier.
13:44Very good bench point guard.
13:46Keontae George ends that run for Utah of six straight makes,
13:49but B-Will just into the game.
13:52An outlet pass intended for Christie's thrown away.
13:54Cody Williams got it to go.
13:56He does an alley-oop dunk it,
13:58but that's three finishes at the rim for Cody Williams.
14:01Definitely looking for him at the rim.
14:03This one's a little bit too far,
14:04but I'm getting a friendly bounce.
14:08Some home cooking on the bounce for Cody Williams.
14:15An assist on every basket of the game so far for the Jazz.
14:18Eight of eight.
14:19And a bulldozer drive,
14:21but AD doesn't finish it.
14:24Got numbers.
14:25Yeah, got the goggles knocked off,
14:27so AD's not back into play yet,
14:28but it doesn't hurt him.
14:30Max Christie,
14:31defensive rebound,
14:32Markkinen misses on the outside jumper.
14:35And now here's an attack by Brandon Williams.
14:38A miss inside.
14:39Beat Will,
14:39as we noted in the last five games,
14:41shooting 71% on a high volume of shots in the restricted area.
14:46Ball's raked out of bounds after the initial miss.
14:49The ball's off Dallas,
14:50so it's Utah with 16 to shoot.
14:52Last couple of possessions,
14:53he's tried to draw the fouls.
14:56Didn't get that one to go.
14:58Kind of got to put the shades back on.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Get back on D.
15:03Baseline throw in.
15:04Keontae George loops it out to Kyle Filipowski.
15:12Filipowski screens for Markkinen,
15:14who drives and spins and scores.
15:17His offensive game is just so smooth.
15:2011th in the league in scoring,
15:21Devin, nearly 28 points a game.
15:23It makes it look easy.
15:24We talked about it in the opener.
15:26His ability to read defenses
15:27and adjust in game.
15:29Two on.
15:29Oh, and Keontae George no good.
15:31Balls for Isaiah Collier.
15:33It is good.
15:35A turnover generated a two for one.
15:40Clay Thompson underneath.
15:42Najee Marshall through traffic.
15:43All right, I know Dallas likes to play with pace,
15:57but to your point earlier, Keontae George and one.
15:57To your point, I mean, you do kind of play into Utah's hands
16:01if you play at two accelerated of a tempo.
16:03They have to.
16:04I mean, they give up some things defensively.
16:06It's no secret, but they want to get it back on the other end.
16:09Do you see Keontae George?
16:14Get a good drive there.
16:16Getting the and one through contact.
16:19George already has four assists tonight.
16:23He tied his career high
16:25and had his best assist game of this season
16:27with 11 dimes last night and a loss to the Thunder.
16:3125 points and seven rebounds in that game
16:34for Keontae George as well.
16:36He's got a lot more efficient as a player.
16:38He always was a score, more of a high-volume score
16:40the last couple years,
16:43but he's really honed in on his efficiency
16:45and playmaking.
16:47Well, the real story there, Devin,
16:49is that he went from taking around 55% of his shots being threes
16:53to only 42% of his shots being threes.
16:56Here's Utah off a turnover.
16:57Straight-line drive to the basket.
16:59Filipowski.
16:59Real quick, the other thing for George is
17:02his finishing's gone way up.
17:04He's 71% in the restricted area
17:06after being 60-61% the last two years.
17:09That comes down to just working on your body,
17:11getting a little bit stronger,
17:12being able to take those hits.
17:14Mr. Brandon Williams on a three.
17:17And Will Hardy has spoken when we've been up here
17:19in the last time in his pregame media availability
17:22that Keontae George has really worked on his strength
17:25and they're encouraging him to be just a straight-line driver
17:30to the basket.
17:32Well, there's an argument here by Kyle Anderson,
17:35the intended recipient of the pass,
17:37and the passer, Keontae George,
17:39that Dallas deflected that.
17:40Oh, Collier was the passer, by the way.
17:48Definitely changed the trajectory of the pass.
17:52Cooper's back in.
17:54And it is Dallas ball off the Jazz turnover.
17:56Here comes the quick double on Davis.
17:58Three-pointer short for B-Will.
18:00Collier in transition.
18:05Draws the crowd and throws it behind Cody Williams.
18:07Back-to-back possessions with turnovers for Isaiah Collier.
18:20Those are the first two Utah turnovers of the game
18:23on these last two possessions.
18:26A catch off the curl and a jump remained by Clay Thompson.
18:30Go, go, go, go, go!
18:37Keontae George created space with a bump
18:40against Caleb Martin who's come in.
18:51Clay.
18:52One to Trey and has one.
18:55He only needs one to get going.
18:57Saw the ball go in last time down
18:59and back-to-back possessions with a basket.
19:04Kyle Anderson had to redirect that over to Isaiah Collier.
19:07Drive and finish.
19:11Talked to not being a defensive game.
19:13I mean, it's score after score after score
19:15the last couple possessions out before.
19:17Dallas shooting
19:18about 53%.
19:20About 53%.
19:21Utah shooting about 64%.
19:23Shot fake, sidestabbed, lost ball.
19:27Turnover, Dallas.
19:29We've seen a couple of those turnovers the last couple games
19:31where balls are slipping out of our hands.
19:35Isaiah Collier, previous offensive possession for Utah.
19:38Well, just a straight line drive down the finish.
19:41Not much resistance.
19:42Not much rim protection.
19:43Daniel Gafford has played enough games now.
19:49As of last night, he's over 70% of the Mavericks games played this year.
19:53So that does move him into qualification
19:55for NBA leaders
19:59in all per-game statistical categories.
20:02And he just happens to be 13th in the league
20:04and blocks now.
20:051.4 game.
20:07There's another turnover
20:08for the Jazz
20:09and the offensive foul
20:10by Lowry Markkinen.
20:16For Markkinen,
20:18his first foul of the game.
20:20To Klay
20:21and a rebound three.
20:23Soaring along the baseline.
20:24Nice offensive rebound.
20:25Caleb Martin.
20:27Bout Thompson.
20:28Top of the key.
20:28No good.
20:29Doesn't get a good roll.
20:31And then after a rebound,
20:33that's deflected out.
20:34Out of bounds by the Jazz
20:35by Taylor Hendricks, I believe.
20:41Just under two minutes to play
20:42in the first half.
20:46First quarter, that is.
20:51Gafford a handoff.
20:53Klay tripped,
20:53but still foul.
20:54Koop.
20:55And a three.
20:56Trano.
21:02Ten points in the first quarter tonight
21:04for Cooper Flagg.
21:06The man who scored 42.
21:08The Mavericks main man
21:09who scored 42 here last month.
21:12Three-point try, Collier.
21:14Caleb Martin's been active on the glass
21:17on both ends of the floor.
21:19Grabbed that defensive rebound
21:21and pushed.
21:21Shoot it.
21:22Shoot it.
21:24Kyle Anderson's giving him some space.
21:26And he lost it.
21:28Just got to rise up.
21:29He just hit two in a row.
21:32In the corner.
21:34Hendricks hesitates,
21:35but still hits.
21:42When he's played this year,
21:4525 games.
21:46Oh, nice pass by Klay
21:48and an out of control,
21:50twisting finish.
21:51Well done by Caleb Martin.
21:52I think he was out of control.
21:54I think he was just twisting.
21:55Just twisting.
21:57Just kind of a unique looking finish
21:59is what I was really hoping to see.
22:07Nice to see it for Caleb Martin.
22:11Straightaway three.
22:12No good.
22:12Mark in it.
22:13Yeah, so Hendricks,
22:14who just made that three a moment ago.
22:1615 minutes a game,
22:1625 games this year,
22:19but shooting 41% on threes.
22:21And there's a slash to the basket
22:22by Brandon Williams.
22:23That speed.
22:25Downhill that we need
22:26to get those paint points.
22:27could have took the three,
22:28didn't want to settle.
22:31Got a better look.
22:41There is a little difference.
22:43Two, three seconds.
22:43Shot clock, game clock.
22:45Hendricks looking for another three.
22:48Mavericks have it.
22:49Caleb Martin,
22:50can he get a shot away?
22:50No.
22:54There is a timeout on the floor
22:56here at the end of the first quarter.
22:58Utah shot about 58%.
22:59Dallas 54%.
23:01And it is advantage jazz
23:04by five after one
23:06here on Mavs TV.
23:12Back at Delta Center
23:13in Salt Lake City,
23:14Mark Folliwell,
23:14Devin Harris,
23:15Leslie McCaslin.
23:16We've got a quarter in the books.
23:18And with one quarter done,
23:19it's time for tonight's
23:20Baylor's Scott and White health.
23:22Pulse check.
23:23First quarter saw both teams
23:25shoot over 50% from the floor,
23:26well over 50%.
23:27Paint points favor Utah.
23:30Fast break points favor Utah.
23:33And assists a slight edge
23:35for the Javs.
23:37And remember that when it comes
23:38to paint points,
23:39Dallas is the number one team
23:41in the league
23:41over the last 13 games
23:43since December the 6th.
23:45Almost 65 paint points per game
23:47for the Mavs in that stretch.
23:49And they're on pace for 64,
23:51but unfortunately Utah on pace
23:53for a lot more than that.
23:58Sensiball screens,
23:59marking, and drives.
24:01It's not in the paint,
24:02and it doesn't go.
24:03Kept alive by Kevin Love,
24:04kept alive by Kyle Anderson,
24:06and finally controlled by Gafford.
24:09Nimhard's in the game,
24:10and he has it right now.
24:14Nimhard, four assists
24:16in 12 minutes off the bench
24:17against the Kings.
24:18Three went to Cooper.
24:21Maybe one here to Clay Thompson.
24:23Yeah, there is.
24:24Clay for Trey.
24:24I love how Nimhard took his time.
24:29He was open for a three
24:30just fresh into the game.
24:32Didn't want to get one up.
24:33Ran some offense.
24:34Got a good look to a guy
24:35that has made a couple of baskets,
24:36now plays in rhythm.
24:39It's a good possession
24:40to start the second quarter.
24:42Ryan certainly knows
24:43how to run an offense well.
24:44There is no doubt
24:45that he is very comfortable
24:47as an offense-initiating point guard.
24:53Because me, I would have shot him.
24:54I'm going to see where my game's at.
24:56I'm going to see how it's feeling tonight.
24:58Fresh off the bench.
24:59But that's not Ryan's game,
25:00but they ran a really good play.
25:01Got Clay an open look
25:02on the back side.
25:06You know, there was only one free throw
25:08attempted in the entire first quarter.
25:13Dallas had scored seven straight points
25:15before Markkinen goes to the line.
25:18The one free throw attempt
25:19in the first quarter
25:20was an and-one freebie
25:21for Keontae George.
25:23And so, in this game,
25:24we've seen two of the very best
25:25free throw shooters in the NBA
25:26on the line.
25:28Keontae George is seventh.
25:30Markkinen is eighth.
25:31They both shoot a little bit over
25:3390% this year.
25:34Last time out,
25:35Markkinen missed a few free throws.
25:37He's hit.
25:38Clay.
25:41Almost made basket number four
25:43of the early going.
25:44Kyle Anderson, his 11th appearance
25:49of the year.
25:51For Anderson,
25:52this is season 12 from UCLA.
25:55In and out in the paint.
25:57And Coop,
25:57nice rebound.
26:00Cooper's in transition
26:01where he excelled.
26:03He finds them hard.
26:04Three, miss.
26:04And that is the man
26:08nicknamed Slo-Mo
26:10who came away
26:10with the defensive board.
26:11Kyle Anderson
26:12flipped up,
26:14sends the ball,
26:14missed it.
26:15And then he committed
26:16a loose ball foul.
26:19That is just
26:20the second foul
26:21called in the entire game
26:22on the Jazz.
26:23And there have only been
26:24two fouls called
26:25on the Mavs as well.
26:29Technically speaking,
26:30the Jazz do not have
26:31a defensive foul yet
26:32in this game.
26:33An offensive foul
26:33on Markkinen
26:34and a loose ball foul
26:35right there.
26:35Yeah.
26:45A little bit over two played
26:47in quarter number two.
26:48Big screen Gafford.
26:50Too big.
26:53It's on the ball.
26:54Handler there.
26:55Got to do a better job
26:56of setting up
26:57and allowing Gaff
26:58to get set.
27:02Coming in now
27:05for Utah's
27:06Walter Clayton Jr.
27:12Dallas doubling up
27:14Utah in turnovers
27:15so far in this game.
27:18Watch out for Clayton
27:19on the perimeter.
27:20He went four of seven
27:21on threes
27:22in the game last night.
27:23Scored 15 points
27:24against the Thunder.
27:26Markkinen no good
27:28on a heave
27:29from outside the arc.
27:30He's one of four
27:31on threes.
27:32Stop and pop.
27:33Koop no.
27:37Mavericks get back
27:38in transition
27:38but then no one
27:40picked up Love.
27:42Fortunately,
27:43he airballs it.
27:44Well,
27:45maybe there's not
27:45enough juice
27:47in those legs
27:48but he's a guy
27:50that still can shoot it
27:51with the best of them.
27:55Just a one
27:56shot didn't have
27:57enough legs
27:58to get
27:58the lift there.
28:00in 20 games
28:01this year
28:02he is knocking
28:02down 36%
28:03of his threes.
28:05And that happens
28:06to be his career
28:06three-point percentage
28:07but in his
28:09Minnesota and Cleveland
28:10days, man,
28:11it was really good.
28:12Caleb Markkinen
28:14out from the corner
28:15slapped out
28:15by Kevin Love.
28:19Mentioned that
28:20Nurkic and Ace Bailey
28:21are the notable
28:23injuries to report
28:24tonight for the Jazz
28:25and for the Mavericks
28:26this is two straight
28:27games,
28:27two straight full games
28:28without P.J.
28:30Washington Jr.
28:31with a right ankle
28:32sprain that he sustained
28:33in the first half
28:33Saturday
28:34and a win over the Rockets.
28:36Ball in
28:37to Max Christie.
28:39Tip-out rebound
28:40by Koop.
28:43Nimhard
28:43against Walter Clayton.
28:45That's a good matchup.
28:48Christie
28:48sidestepped the closeout.
28:50Mount Nimhard
28:51missed on a three.
28:54Taylor Hendricks
28:55with the rebound.
28:58Organized for a three.
29:00Short.
29:00Sensibov.
29:01Nice rebound
29:02by Gaffert
29:02because he was headed
29:03right back
29:03towards the shooter.
29:05Max Christie
29:06a drive
29:07and that's no good
29:08against the challenge
29:09of Taylor Hendricks.
29:14Walter Clayton
29:15no good on the three.
29:16Kram's way out
29:17to the baseline
29:17to Sensibov.
29:19Found a cutting plate
29:20who went to Hendricks.
29:22Love
29:23big enough
29:24to grab the offensive rebound
29:25and draw a foul
29:26going back up.
29:30Two fouls now
29:31on Daniel Gaffert
29:32as we play early
29:33in the second quarter.
29:38Out working the
29:39defense there.
29:41Give him another possession
29:42but they take a
29:43lot of contested
29:44threes.
29:46Not really sure
29:47where the rebound
29:47is going to go
29:48but one guy
29:48that can rebound
29:49the basketball
29:50with the best of
29:51Kevin Love.
29:52And he's on the
29:53free throw line
29:53right now
29:54with 8.15
29:54left in the second.
29:57UT Southwestern
29:58breakthrough science
30:01breakthrough science
30:01exceptional care
30:03the number one hospital
30:05in Dallas
30:05Fort Worth.
30:09The only points
30:11for the Jazz
30:11this quarter
30:12have been
30:12free throws.
30:13They are 0 of 9
30:14on shot attempts
30:16from the floor.
30:17got a couple of
30:23free throws this quarter
30:24from Lowry Market
30:25and now a couple
30:26from Kevin Love.
30:27unfortunately for Dallas
30:35they're only one of
30:36eight
30:36double dribble
30:37two teams that do
30:43turn it over a lot
30:44that's been
30:45plaguing the Mavs
30:47the last couple
30:49games but
30:49Jazz commit
30:52the third most
30:53turnovers
30:53Dallas
30:54the 11th most
30:55turnovers.
30:56Walter Clayton
30:57no good
30:57they let Hendricks
30:58walk in
31:00for a rebound
31:01Love
31:01caught it off
31:02with deflection
31:03flat three
31:04by Hendricks
31:05and a rebound
31:05for Anthony Davis.
31:07so now it's
31:090 for 11
31:09for the Jazz
31:10and Max Christie
31:13puts it down
31:14and attacks
31:15the Mavs are
31:15one of eight
31:16from the floor
31:16this quarter.
31:20Here's the
31:20turnover comparison
31:21this year
31:22and the numbers
31:24to our point
31:25earlier
31:26Devin not very good
31:27for either team
31:28certainly has
31:28gotten better
31:29for the Mavs
31:30there was a point
31:31in time
31:31in the late
31:33part of November
31:34middle part of November
31:35I guess
31:36would be more
31:36accurate
31:37where they
31:38were sitting
31:39dead last
31:40in the league
31:40in terms of
31:41most turnovers
31:41per game
31:42hot potato
31:42so the numbers
31:45better
31:45still not
31:48where you would
31:49like it to
31:49ideally be
31:50here's Kyle
31:50Filipowski
31:51going in
31:52Filipowski
31:52has had two
31:54games of 25
31:55points this year
31:56one against
31:56the Memphis
31:56Grizzlies
31:57and one
31:57here against
31:58Dallas
31:59on December
31:5915th
32:00also nine
32:01rebounds
32:01and shot
32:02nine of 13
32:03from the floor
32:03in that game
32:03so those
32:09are the first
32:10free throws
32:10of the game
32:10for Dallas
32:11and the Mavs
32:12missed it
32:13and the Mavs
32:15get both of those
32:17free throws
32:17I'm sorry
32:18Max Christie
32:19and now Utah
32:22won for 12
32:23this quarter
32:24they had actually
32:26missed 13
32:27consecutive shots
32:28because they missed
32:28two in a row
32:29to end the first
32:30for three
32:33two
32:33part of the way
32:35down
32:35spun out
32:36and on the ball
32:39but Keontae
32:40George
32:40maintains
32:41position
32:41handoff
32:47Kyle Anderson
32:47he got it
32:48back from
32:48Walter Clayton
32:49and he's
32:50denied inside
32:51and then
32:52commits a foul
32:52on the backcourt
32:53maybe transition
32:54take
32:54could be
32:55I think
32:55they're going
32:55to ask
32:55about it
32:56we're at the
32:59first dead ball
33:00inside of seven
33:00minutes
33:01so there's a
33:01timeout on the
33:02floor
33:02with the Jazz
33:03up by seven
33:03right now
33:04one story
33:08we haven't
33:09gotten to tell
33:09yet
33:09it's just
33:10the unique

42:46he had his
42:47head down
42:47Keontae George
42:49as we see
42:49Nimhar going
42:51for the layup
42:52caught it
42:52realized he was
42:53open

43:30late
43:31shot
43:31clock
43:31Anthony
43:37Davis
43:37with a couple
43:38of opportunities
43:39in transition
43:40here in the last
43:40little bit
43:41it was a rim
43:41threat
43:42especially in
43:43transition
43:44rim running
43:44see back-to-back
43:45plays looking
43:46for the trailer
43:47Anthony
43:49doing the rest
43:50maybe that
43:50can get him
43:51going a little bit
43:52especially when we
43:54give him the ball
43:55on the block
43:55when Cooper
43:58scored 42
43:58here last month
43:59he went to the
44:00free throw line
44:0120 times
44:03he made
44:0315
44:04and one of the
44:06five misses
44:06was an intentional
44:07miss
44:08to get the ball
44:09back
44:10in a
44:11missed free throw
44:12situation at the
44:13end of regulation
44:13they ended up
44:14forcing overtime
44:15because of
44:15they did get it
44:17back and Max
44:17Christie made
44:18two free throws
44:19after that
44:19piece of the
44:21first free throws
44:22of this game
44:22for Cooper
44:23but this has
44:26been a game
44:27with very few
44:28whistles on either
44:29side
44:29five fouls apiece
44:30Mavs have been
44:39better lately
44:39in terms of
44:40defending without
44:41fouling
44:41Mavs have moved
44:47to the fifth
44:47fewest fouls
44:48committed per game
44:49this year
44:49about 19 and a
44:51half per game
44:52Isaiah Collier
44:53he drives
44:55Bryce
44:56Sensibov
44:57misses on a
44:58corner three
44:59deficit is eight
45:01for Dallas
45:02and oh
45:03could be six
45:03and it is
45:04because Cooper
45:04is there to clean up
45:05the offensive glass
45:07after Markkinen
45:08denied AD
45:09but he hit the floor
45:10hard
45:10in the process
45:11Cooper
45:18Cooper now

45:19also five
45:20rebounds
45:21and a
45:22stare down
45:23three is missed
45:23by Keontae
45:24George
45:25Max
45:26Christie
45:27the outlet
45:27Nembhard
45:29went back
45:32to Max
45:33maybe not
45:33time enough
45:34to get off
45:35a good shot
45:35anyway
45:36at a two
45:36for one
45:36it's been a good
45:41first half
45:42for Cooper
45:42goes cross court
45:44to his rookie
45:44buddy Nembhard
45:45puts it down
45:46pull up
45:47missed
45:47and guided in
45:48there by Davis
45:49and he was pushed
45:51after he had secured
45:52possession of the
45:53offensive rebound
45:54so this is a chance
45:55for three the old
45:56fashioned way
