Jazz, Dallas Mavericks and Utah
Digest more
Keyonte George scored 37 points and Lauri Markkanen added 33 to lift the Utah Jazz to a 140-133 overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, despite a career-high 42 points from Cooper Flagg.
Hardy also made sure to give his flowers to the bench following the Jazz's grind-it-out victory, highlighting two specific names that played "outstanding" in the winning efforts: Taylor Hendricks and Cody Williams, and another standout in Isaiah Collier who led the team in assists while being in the second unit.
With Washington out of the playoff picture, backup Marcus Mariota is scheduled to start for the final three games of the season, including a Christmas Day matchup against the Cowboys.
The Dallas Mavericks have won four out of their last five games, and it comes as no coincidence that Anthony Davis has played in all of them. The 10-time All-Star missed significant time earlier in the season due to a calf injury, but he has made up for lost time since his return.
