3 keys to the Utah Jazz’s 108-100 win over the Dallas Mavericks

The Utah Jazz beat the Dallas Mavericks, 108-100, on Saturday night at Vivint Arena, improving to 26-26 on the season.

Here are three keys that contributed to the Jazz’s victory:

• The Jazz were certainly helped by the fact that Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Christian Wood were all sidelined with injuries on Saturday.

Spencer Dinwiddie has done a nice job for the Mavericks of carrying a heavier load, especially when Doncic is out, and he finished with 35 points against the Jazz, but the Jazz were able to hold off the Mavs, despite Dinwiddie’s successful outing.

• Lauri Markkanen scored 29 points, to go with five rebounds, a block and a steal against Dallas. It was Markkanen’s 21st game as a Jazzman with 25-or-more points.
• Malik Beasley, who has been a little inconsistent with his shot as of late, went 5-of-11 from 3-point land and finished the night with 19 points off the bench for the Jazz.
