The Dallas Mavericks will welcome the Utah Jazz to American Airlines Center for an NBA game on Tuesday. The Dallas Mavericks lost 126-130 in their last game over the Suns. Doncic had 34 points and nine rebounds before the point-blank shot that could have tied it. He grabbed Durant for a foul after the rebound with 3.5 seconds remaining. After the foul, Doncic and Booker, who scored 36 points, pushed and jawed at each other as officials and team personnel separated them before Durant’s two clinching free throws.
It was the 14th technical of the season for Doncic, two away from a one-game suspension. The teams finished tied 2-2 in the season series, with playoff seedings in the Western Conference wide open below top-seeded Denver. The bunched-up standings could mean an early rematch from last season’s West semifinals, when Doncic and the Mavs blew out Booker, Chris Paul and the Suns in Game 7 in Phoenix.
A photo of a goofy-grinning Doncic looking at Booker went viral after that series. The last regular-season meeting of 2022-23 brought more tension. “I loved it,” said Hardaway, who scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half and was 6 of 8 on 3-pointers. “I know 77 isn’t going to back down from anybody. It was bound to happen at some point, them coming face to face. Just happy it happened here at home.”
The Utah Jazz on the other hand lost 129-119 against the Thunder in their last game. Utah made only two of its first 17 field-goal attempts and missed its first nine 3-point shots, allowing Oklahoma City to sprint to a 28-10 lead with 2:44 left in the first quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 13 of his points on 5-of-7 shooting during the quarter. “All year, we’ve been talking about coming out fast,” Williams said. “I thought we did a good job of that. Obviously, with Shai coming back, we were all playing in our normal spots, too, so there was a lot more comfortable feel.”
The Thunder led by as many as 24 points in the second quarter and was ahead 70-51 at halftime. An 11-0 run by Utah pulled the Jazz within 88-78 with 4:09 left in the third quarter, but Isaiah Joe made a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired for Oklahoma City and Gilgeous-Alexander followed with two free throws. The Thunder led 101-84 entering the fourth quarter and Utah came no closer than the final margin.
