Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks absolutely dominated the matchup in Game 5. After taking a commanding lead in the first half, the Mavericks continued their onslaught through the second half to complete the blowout in Game 5.
The game saw a spectacular performance by Luka Doncic. With the superstar recording a double-double of 33 points and 13 rebounds, the Mavs also saw valuable scoring output from Jalen Brunson, who had 24 points on the night.
Often overlooked for their defensive efforts, Dallas did a great job of shooting down the leagues best offense in Game 5. The feat may have a lasting impact and may even decide the flow of the series.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz were handed an embarrassing defeat on the road in Game 5. With their offense completely shut down in the game, the Jazz looked completely out of sorts as their defense continued to crumble.
The Jazz havent had the best postseason showings. Although they have two wins in the series, the value of those wins hasnt been held in high regard.
Game 5 saw solid scoring from Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gobert. With these two being the only double-digit scorers for Utah, the state of the Jazz offense was evidently in shambles.
Donovan Mitchell, who is usually the driving force behind the Jazzs offense, struggled for the game. After suffering a hamstring injury as well, Utah finds itself in dire straits.
