Utah’s 37-point win over the Mavericks prove to be a nice comeback to tie the season series. Dallas won the first meeting by 50 in early December.

Aside from Clarkson, five other players scored in double figures led by 24 from Simone Fontecchio. Lauri Markkanen added 17, while John Collins (15 points), Keyonte George (14 points), and Walker Kessler (11 points) complete the nice team effort for the Jazz, who are 7-3 in their last 10 for 15-19 overall in the packed West.

Luka Doncic led the Mavs with 19 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists, but just shot 6 of 20 from the field.
