The Dallas Mavericks (4 - 2) defeated the Utah Jazz (2 - 4) 105 - 82 on Friday. Dirk Nowitzki was coming off a subpar game in the Mavericks' 108 - 87 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, and he made sure he had a better game Friday. He put up 27 points to go with 10 reboudnds and five three - pointers in collecting his first double - double of the season, doing all of his damage in just 28 minutes. Tyson Chandler also corralled a double - double, posting 15 points and 13 rebounds in 30 minutes. Chandler Parsons struggled with his shot, finishing 1 - for - 11 from the field, but his defense was on point Friday as he had a plus - 21 rating. The Jazz were riding a high after coming away with a 102 - 100 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, which came on the back of a Gordon Hayward buzzer - beater to win the game as time expired. Utah had 21 turnovers Friday, dooming all their other efforts against a determined Mavericks team that was agressive on defense, collecting 12 steals. The Mavericks have Saturday off before taking on the Miami Heat at home Sunday. Utah will travel to Detroit to face the Pistons on Sunday.
