Powell even though playing limited minutes still can't make any sort of shot or finish at the rim unless it's a lob, they won't be able to play small vs Ayton because that guy will punish you inside. Jazz up 6 at quarter-time. Despite Dallas shooting poor from 3, they take the lead with defensive stops and getting easy ones in transition. Utah goes on a run while Luka's on the bench, before a Dinwiddie contested step-back 3, Jazz up 12 at the half. Mavs catch fire from 3 in the 3rd, taking a 5-point lead into the last. Becomes all tied with 2 minutes to play. Bogdanovic open misses the game-winning 3, the Mavs advance. Dallas shot better from the field and 3, the Jazz just 26% from outside.

Brunson 24 points, 2 steals, no turnovers. Dinwiddie an efficient 19 points off the bench. For Utah, Mitchell 23 points, 9 assists, 8 boards. Bogdanovic 19 points.
