The visiting Utah Jazz took down the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, 112 - 107 in overtime. Utah (28 - 16) won its fifth straight game on Friday after taking down the Mavericks in Dallas. Despite the absence of Rodney Hood (knee), the Jazz saw a solid night on the offensive end. A big piece of the Jazz's success was center Rudy Gobert, who had career highs with 27 points and 25 rebounds, 10 of which came on the offensive end. Gobert, the anchor of Utah's tough defense, added two blocks. Rebounding proved to be Utah's biggest edge over Dallas, as the Jazz held a 53 - 42 advantage on the glass. The Jazz also saw 26 points from star forward Gordon Hayward. Dallas (14 - 29) had also seen strong play coming into Friday's matchup, having won three of its last four games. The team saw a well - rounded performance on Friday, as seven players managed to score in double digits. Surprisingly, one of the weak links in Dallas's offense was veteran Dirk Nowitzki, who scored only three points and shot just 1 - of - 13. Nowitzki did make up for some of the Mavericks' weakness on the boards, however, as he pulled down ten rebounds on the night. Forward Harrison Barnes led the team with 19 points. The Jazz will host the Pacers on Saturday, while the Mavericks will see the Lakers on Sunday.
