Dallas’ record is negative at the moment (5-7)
Dallas shows up in Salt Lake City without Irving and Washington. Against the not irresistible Jazz we rely on Doncic. The Slovenian plays at very high levels (37 points, nine assists and seven rebounds) but, in the last quarter, he struggles, like the rest of the team, allowing the Jazz to come back and take home the victory: 115-113 on final.
On the other hand, great performance from Collins, author of 28 points and, above all, the basket that knocked Doncic and his teammates out. This is the fourth consecutive stop for Dallas. In the post-match, Doncic took all the blame for the bad defeat suffered against Utah, in particular for the mistake that allowed Collins to score the winning basket.
“It was a misunderstanding, I didn’t quite understand the indications that came from the bench: it’s my fault”, the words of the Dallas All Star who, at this start of the regular season, is struggling to find a way to make the team win his team.
It should be noted that for the Utah Jazz it was the first home victory since the start of the season. A success that came at the end of a great comeback with a partial of 28 to 16 in the decisive final period.
