The Dallas Mavericks faced a disappointing defeat against the Utah Jazz, losing 115-113 despite a stellar performance from Luka Dončić, who scored 37 points. The Mavs, now on a four-game losing streak, struggled without Kyrie Irving, while the Jazz managed to secure the win despite Lauri Markkanen's absence in the final minutes.
Utah's John Collins scored the game-winning basket, capping off a strong performance. The Mavericks, last year's Western Conference champions, now sit 12th in the standings and must regroup quickly with tough upcoming matchups.
