This prevented a strong Mitchell (12 points in Q1) as well as a weak tripartite quota from Dallas (3/14 vs. 3/8 after Q1). The most recently so strong glue had to go out after a good three minutes with three fouls. 24:23 Jazz after twelve minutes – completed with a 19: 10-Run.
Also in the episode, the guests were difficult to find a rhythm. Especially Dinwiddie did not want to succeed. Juancho Hernangomez caused the first 8-point leadership, Josh Green answered by threesome. In this phase, however, the MAVs did not find an answer to Clarkson, who attacked the zone again and again from the midrange. A Floater of Mitchell set to +10, while the Mavericks allowed too many mistakes, it was supposed to note that this is the last chance to come back to the series. Doncic made a stepback threesome as well as a floater with the buzzer for damage limitation, 54:42 jazz for the break.

The MAVs left several open threesome, Clarkson made only out of the distance and was then fouled by Brunson at the threesome. The Sixth was essential for Utah remained in the game. Gobert gave the jazz several second opportunities or moved free throw (however, the joy of the Mavs-Bank some out). Doncic met from the midrange, but also took unnecessarily severe throws.

The most important statistics of the game
Utah Jazz (5) – Dallas Mavericks (4) 100: 99 (Boxscore), Series: 2-2
- 31.7 percent from the field, 20.8 percent from the triple line, 3/15 of Dinwiddie and Brunson – that jazz led “only” with 12 points came the same with 12 points. Whole 22 times the householders went to the line and left a lot (15/22), yet the distance from the point of view of Mavericks could have looked much worse.
- Speaking Brunson: The hope was great that the Shooting Star by the comeback of Doncic could build in a slightly smaller role to his strong achievements or even act even more efficiently, he found very badly in the game. Four minutes before the break, he scored his first points out of the field, the threesome did not fall. Through some trips to the frewurflinie he was able to earn a little confidence and showed a good performance in halftime.
- Also from the fact that Spencer Dinwiddie moved back to the bank through the comeback of Doncic, the MAVs could not beat capital. Dinwiddie was at half time at 0 points! The colleagues Green, glue and Bertan hardly made it better. The deficit of 8:19 could not catch up in Dallas during the second half. The Bank Duel ended with 35:13 for Utah – which of course was primarily at Clarkson.
- Made the jazz in the two defeats, especially from the triple area a too high deficit, the matter was at least balanced this time. Dallas sinked 15 threesome (of 44.1 percent), Utah 10 (of 35, 28.6 percent). In combination with the advantages in the zone as well as the clear obesity in the free throws (26/42 vs. 18/23), the game was thus up to the final seconds.
Jazz Vs. Mavs: The votes to the game
Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz) To the last play of the MAVs: “We wanted to bring the ball from Luka’s hands, he had hit a few big throws, we wanted to make sure he has to fit and have defended the litter very well “
The Star of the Game: Jordan Clarkson (Utah Jazz)
Gobert and Mitchell were it who had the fingers in the game in the final minutes at the crucial scenes. But the microwave would have not delivered in particular in the middle of the fourth quarter, the game would have been out of reach at this time. Clarkson made his best game in the series, sinked 3 of his 5 threesome and came with +18 on the far plus / minus of all players.
The Flop of the Game: Spencer Dinwiddie (Dallas Mavericks)
The bank of Mavericks throughout the disappointed, but above all the ex-wizard had been much more expected. That his last litter did not even touch the ring was symptomatic. Even with him the plus / minus does not deceive (-14). There must be more in game 5!
