The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz will finish the season series tied at two after Saturday's win for the Mavs.

The Jazz are still trying to figure out who they are, while they look toward a future that doesn’t include tanking for lottery balls.

When LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, made the statement of the Los Angeles Lakers should trade Austin Reaves, it sent the NBA world into a firestorm. Most fans, including the Lakers themselves, weren’t too happy with Paul’s remarks.

Klay Thompson scored all 23 of his points in the first half, including the 17,000th of his career, and six Mavericks scored in double figures in a 138-120 win over Utah on Saturday night as Dallas completed a two-game sweep of the Jazz.

Nikola Vučević’s basket with four seconds to play lifted the Chicago Bulls to a 128-126 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Vučević scored 16 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter.

The Dallas Mavericks have seen a lot of the Utah Jazz over the past month, with their most recent faceoff just two days ago. Dallas repeated their success from Thursday night with a 138-120 win Saturday. Let’s get to the grades!
