Mavericks Game 1 recap: Uglyball gave them a chance in Game 1. Now it’s about jump-starting the offense. Here’s what Spencer Dinwiddie, Jason Kidd and others had to say about it.

One in the bag for the Wolves…
Wolves 130, Grizzlies 117
36 points for Anthony Edwards in a Luka-like playoffs debut for the 20 year-old.
Looking forward to chopping this all up with @Britt Robson for the postgame pod. – 6:32 PM

“When they was up nine or eight in the fourth quarter, Luka was telling us we still can win the game. That really helped us, too, because we battled.

This was Donovan Mitchell’s best play of the game.
No way the game plan is to leave a 40% three point shooter in a two point game with 2:45 left to play, but he timed this steal perfectly and it led to a Conley jumper to put the Jazz up 4. pic.twitter.com/xg1Lvc43YS – 4:48 PM

If you had told the Mavs they’d hold Utah to 99 points, on 43.4% allow them to take only 22 3ptrs (7 fewer than in any game all season. They avg 40) They probably would have thought they’d won the game. Alas, they didn’t. – 4:03 PM

Certainly a nail biter for the Jazz but considering they took a two point lead with two seconds left in the first half and never trailed over the final 24 minutes of the game, that’s a very solid performance.

By the way, there’s nothing wrong with Donovan Mitchell being a decoy on offense by drawing the Mavericks best defenders on the wing.
But he has to use that to his advantage, no reason to force 9 shots in the second half if they aren’t there.

HALFTIME: Jazz 45, Mavs 43. A beautiful drive-and-kick from Don to Bogey for a wiiiiiiide-open 3 to end the half. Bogey has 20p on 8-11 FGs. Don has 2p/3a/1r/1b on 1-9 FGs. Gobert 5p/10r. JC 1p on 4-7 off the bench. Jazz went just 2-11 from 3. Dallas shooting just 17-43 FGs. – 2:14 PM

This is where the @Utah Jazz would really benefit from having a bigger playmaker on the perimeter.
Dallas has its two forwards on Mitchell/Conley, meaning Bogdanovic and O’Neale have small guards on them.
Neither is great off the dribble creating for others. – 1:24 PM

Timeout, Snyder. Conley was frustrated that his two attempts near the rim didn’t go in, and then wasn’t quick about getting back. Quin calls timeout to give them a little break and talk it over. Jazz up 8-6; 7:17 left 1Q. – 1:22 PM

Was anticipating this. Large part of Mavs game plan is to keep Gobert off the glass. He’s got a couple tap outs which is good but the Mavs are serious about not letting him get putbacks or offensive boards – 1:21 PM

Heat did not get banished to NBA TV during first week of playoffs. NBA TV games next week are single games of Memphis-Minnesota and 76ers-Toronto and 2 of the Dallas-Utah games. Time zone issues, appeal of matchups fuel those decisions. – 9:01 AM
