Utes are now at the doorstep of a trip back to the Pac-12 championship game, but need one more leg of the Pac-12 superfecta to get there:

Soul crushing stuff for the Mavs in TOR. another big lead gets away. PHX, OKC, WAS & TOR losses when leading by 14+ pts. Other games vs POR & LAC lost 15 and 25 pt leads but still managed to win. Tonight 5-12 from 3pt in 1st Qtr. 6-27 after that. – 8:01 PM

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Mavericks lead 29-24 after a quarter. VanVleet with 11 and Boucher with 10 and 6 boards for the Raptors. Mavericks got three three-pointers from Dinwiddie as he leads them with nine points. Dallas led by 15 early. – 5:38 PM

Luka Doncic might be good at basketball. – 5:26 PM

Doncic finally scores his first points, on a drive in which he also got fouled, 6:08 into the game.
Doncic sinks the free-throw and it’s 18-4 Dallas. – 5:24 PM
Tim Chisholm @timpchisholm
The Raptors just look like a team that’s tired of being short-handed. They’re walking through this game like it’s a pit-stop before Siakam comes back: slow close-outs, late passes, languid drives… could be a long evening. – 5:22 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Raptors have held Doncic scoreless but still trail 15-4 because they can’t shoot (1-of-7) or handle (five TOs) or contain Dwight Powell (six points). – 5:21 PM

You have as many points as Luka and Mavs up 15-4 at first timeout – 5:20 PM

It was Pacers v KD in the 4th and the Pacers were +17, get the win 128-117.
Everyone played their part; Hield scored 26, Turner with 23 and Haliburton added 21-15a.
They handled their business at home — won 8 of 10 during homestand.

Michael Malone takes nothing from Nuggets-Clippers preseason game played in Ontario in October despite both teams playing full squads for most part (no Jamal, no Kawhi last month but that was it).
Malone also did not sound happy about the condition of the floor that night either – 9:05 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Re: Kawhi, PG and Kennard, Ty Lue said late in his pregame talk with reporters that he has a good feeling for how the injured Clippers are progressing. He said he hasn’t tried to reorient the offense like he did last season because he didn’t think the absences would be long term. – 9:03 PM

The Celtics entered the game tonight 17th in the NBA in defense.
But 29th in the 2nd quarter (only Denver has been worse).
In the 2nd quarter tonight, the Kings have gone 12-18 from the floor, scored 27 points in less than 8 minutes and the Celtics lead, once 16, is now 53-49. – 8:58 PM

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will also remain out on Sunday vs Indiana in addition to tonight per Ty Lue. – 8:57 PM

Key number to know for tonight’s Nuggets-Clippers game:
In 300+ minutes, the Clippers have a -10 Net Rating in the minutes when both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are off the floor. They score just 100 points per 100 possessions. Horrible offense.

John Collins has sunk his 800th career free throw, with his first make from the line tonight. Collins, who’s shooting a career-best .929% from the stripe this season, entered tonight’s game ranked 4th in the NBA in FT%. – 8:26 PM

Jalen Green already has four assists in the first four minutes. – 8:19 PM
Kelly Iko @KellyIko
Houston with 5 assists on their first 6 made field goals. Also look like a real problem in transition. Up 16-7 early on Atlanta. – 8:19 PM

Bruno Fernando is impacting the rim at both ends. Rockets really missed hm – 8:18 PM

Trae Young drew a foul by jumping into Jalen Green without making contact with him. That doesn’t bode well for how this game is going to be officiated – 8:14 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Hawks with a seriously unserious start to the game. – 8:13 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Houston’s uniforms are lovely.
And largely wasted without a floor design to match. – 8:11 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Tonight’s game marks Atlanta’s final contest against the Rockets this season. In the win on 10/19 (117-107), Dejounte Murray became the 1st Hawk since Spud Webb to tally a point/assist double-double in his first game with the club (20 PTS, 11 AST).

I need a good night out of Denver’s defense. Clippers have the 28th ranked offense and are without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Nuggets have the 27th ranked defense — the only teams worse are the Rockets, Pistons, Spurs. This defensive turnaround has to start soon. – 7:42 PM

The #Rockets have recorded at least 24 assists in five of the past eight games after doing so only once the first nine games of the season. Houston has recorded an assist on 62.2% of their field goals made over the past eight games, up from 50.4% the first nine games. – 5:13 PM

NEW: How Dolphins’ Grier has earned trust, turned assets into bigger ones. With Houston visiting, it’s a good time to see what Tunsil trade (& 49ers draft trade) ultimately netted years later… J.J., Polian with insight on Grier. And Mostert doubtful: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 4:30 PM

Mostert doubtful, Bridgewater questionable for Sunday. Everybody else on the 53 is good for go for Houston on Sunday at Hard Rock. – 4:10 PM
