The Utah Jazz (38 - 43) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (49 - 32) 109 - 92 on Monday at Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. This loss did n't mean much for the Mavericks' spot in the playoffs, as they've already been locked in as the seventh seed in the West. They have yet to find out who they're playing though, as they could end up against the likes of the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers or Memphis Grizzlies. The Jazz have been eliminated from playoff contention, but the win marks their second in a row, as they'll try and close the season with a strong finish, giving them plenty of momentum heading into next season. The Jazz saw a very impressive performance from Rudy Gobert. Gobert went 9 - for - 16 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the free throw line to score 20 points, while also notching a monster 17 rebounds and three blocked shots. The double - double was his third over his last four games, a stretch where he's averaging 13 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. In just the fourteenth game of his career, rookie Bryce Cotton went off for a career - high of 21 points (8 - 15 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and four assists in 26 minutes off the bench. He had only reach double figures in points twice before, so it was good to see him have success while being given the opportunity to have an extended amount of minutes. Joe Ingles was in the starting lineup with both Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward sitting out. He went 6 - for - 9 from the field and 2 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 15 points in 27 minutes. Averaging just 5 points on the season, it was another nice surprise for the Jazz. Trevor Booker chipped in with a 13 - point (5 - 10 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), 12 - rebound double - double as well. The Mavericks held out Monta Ellis, Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler for this game. Because of that, it was J.J. Barea who came out and took the lead for this team. He went 8 - for - 15 from the field and 1 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 18 points while coming off the bench. The guard matched a season - high in field goal attempts, as he saw extended time with those other players being rested. Amar'e Stoudemire had a strong showing while running with the starting lineup. Over 22 minutes, he finished with 15 points (7 - 11 FG, 1 - 4 FT) and three rebounds. Both Rajon Rondo and Charlie Villanueva were the other starters to reach double figures. Rondo recorded 13 points (4 - 6 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) and five assists, while Villanueva added 15 points (6 - 13 FG, 3 - 6 3Pt) and four rebounds. The Jazz's season will come to an end on the road against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, while the Mavericks will be at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
