Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Royce O’Neale jumped into the scorers table and when he was getting up he inadvertently pressed on the end of the quarter horn button lol. – 8:54 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
So that was wild: Royce O’Neale dove into the stands, and he actually pushed the horn button as he was getting back in play, which caused a brief stoppage. – 8:54 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Mavs are 3-4 from 3 because the Jazz are playing drop and Doncic is coming off screens and making great reads for open looks. The one contested three Dallas has had a look at, it missed – 8:52 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Royce, why you going under against Luka? The 3 puts Dallas ahead 17-9 with 7:08 left 1Q. Mavs shooting 6-9, including 3-4 from deep. Quin calls timeout. – 8:51 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Quick 7-0 run for the Mavericks and they lead the Jazz 17-9……Doncic dictating a great shot on every possession and Dallas is as hot in the first quarter as it was when the two teams played about 10 days ago – 8:51 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Mavs up 17-9 early. It’s Luka initiating on every possession, and Jazz can’t contain it yet. They may just have to go to 5-switch immediately, rather than in the 4th like last game. – 8:51 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
LUKA FOR 3⃣!!!! – 8:50 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Dorian has 2 3s, and that 3 by Luka put the Mavs up 17-9 with 7:08 left in the first quarter. – 8:50 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
I’d probably press charges against Rudy Gobert if I was the NBA. – 8:49 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Technical foul on Rudy Gobert for a hostile act – 8:48 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Dwight Powell getting in his nightly hit to the face early tonight. – 8:48 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
They are reviewing Gobert for a potential hostile act – 8:48 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Foul on Dwight Powell, then they’re going to review the contact after to see if Gobert should get a tech – 8:47 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz
still hot from 3: this guy ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/O6Jvw3JMSY8:46 PM

Luka cooking his defender in PnR right now – 8:45 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
There was that stepback to the right Doncic has been working on. – 8:43 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Here’s my jinxable number of the night:
Dallas hasn’t had a game decided by double-digits since February 8.
They are in a ton of close games, but they’re 7-2 over the stretch. – 8:42 PM

That is tied for his second-highest scoring quarter of the season (16 points against the Jazz). – 8:07 PM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
Mavs and Jazz are separated by 2 games in the loss column. Utah in 4th and Dallas in 5th in the West. They’ll play each other twice in 20 days here at AAC with the first of the two tonight at 7:30 on BSSW. – 8:07 PM

Jazz coach Quin Snyder on the #Mavs: “They’re really good, obviously. The way they’re playing right now, they’re as good as anybody in the NBA, and that’s obvious. You can point to what Luka (Doncic) does. It’s special the way that he scores, rebounds and play makes.” pic.twitter.com/xMOfXAenNC7:47 PM

Jazz coach Quin Snyder still isn’t sure whether Rudy Gobert (left calf soreness) will play tonight as a game-time decision.
But he knows this about Mavs: “The way they’re playing right now, they’re as good as anybody in the NBA.” – 7:08 PM
