– The Dallas Mavericks’ negative streak continues. The team around superstar Luka Doncic suffered its fourth defeat in a row against the weakest NBA team in the West.
Even against the weakest team in the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks were unable to end their losing streak. The team from Texas lost to the Utah Jazz 113:115 (64:61) and suffered their fourth defeat in a row in the North American basketball league NBA. The last time the Mavericks lost that many games in a row was in March 2023.
Even Dallas superstar Luka Doncic couldn’t prevent the defeat despite scoring 37 points. Doncic was without his co-star Kyrie Irving, who is suffering from a shoulder injury. The German basketball player Maxi Kleber was in the Mavericks’ starting lineup for the first time in his third appearance of the season, but failed to score three points in 17 minutes of action.
The Mavericks lost the third quarter 21:38 and entered the final period with a 14-point deficit. But the guests managed the comeback, Klay Thompson equalized the game with a three-pointer 27 seconds before the end of the game. In return, John Collins scored the winning goal for the Jazz with a dunk. The hosts achieved their first home win of the season.
