How Morez Johnson Jr. & Santi Aldama's Return Sparked the Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz behind a suffocating third-quarter defensive stand, as rookie Morez Johnson Jr. had 13 points and 17 rebounds in his first game without a minutes restriction. What did Cooper Flagg’s two halves, Kyrie Irving’s illness, and the Mavs’ small-ball lineups tell us about where this NBA team stands at 5-4? Nick Angstadt and Slightly Biased break down the Mavs’ win over the Jazz, from Morez Johnson Jr.’s 10 offensive rebounds to PJ Washington’s 26 points and six threes. They dig into Walter Clayton Jr. locking down the backup point guard role, Santi Aldama’s Mavs debut, and Dusty May’s rotation calls with Daniel Gafford, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin, Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher, and Marcus Sasser. Plus, what Dereck Lively II’s return could mean, how Masai Ujiri might handle Walter Clayton Jr.’s two-way limit, and why the Utah Jazz with Lauri Markkanen and Darryn Peterson are such a mess.
